Since Bio Ritmo's formation in 1991, their subsequent releases have essentially been a lyrical, rhythmic journey around Latin America. A mixture of Cuban, Brazilian and Puerto Rican flavors are clearly evident in their first three recorded efforts, and their stripped down, streetwise, old- school-with-a-twist approach to contemporary Latin music gives their music an unusual but effectively North American sound. Shying away from the commercial virus that satsa has contracted in recent years, the self-described "Salsa Machine," has remained underground, experimenting and exploring the traditional, while at the same time, inventing and innovating their own unique sound. Pulling from a number of influences, the Richmond, Va.-based group's goal is to pick up where salsa's Golden Age loft off and carry the torch for U.S.-grounded, beat-orientated ensembles.
