The Austin based, New York style, Salsa and Merengue band Dario Y Su Comborican bring to you the true sound of "La Musica Caribe". Their music is designed to be a flexible format that permits interpretation of all genres of Latin music. As they blend musical formats and rhythms of the Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican roots, this blending enables them to play the hot sound of rumbas, mambos, boleros as well as merengues. Comborican always adds fresh elements and new perspectives musically which provide a distinctness all their own.
Members of Dario Y Su Comborican bring distinctive talents from the music traditions of their homelands which include Puerto Rico, Cuba, Mexico and the United States. Blending together the expertise of the Afro-Caribbean traditions of Puerto Rico, the percussion and improvisation of Cuba, the roots of jazz from the U.S. provide an end product that is Caribbean but yet an innovative and unique styling.
The Comborican band is comprised of 2 vocalist, 2 trumpets, trombone, sax, piano, bass, conga, bongo and timbale. This instrumental makeup allows for a wide range of sound and provides the depth to perform a plethora of styles in the authentic fashion they were meant to be played.
