Smooth Operator: José Condé's Brings His Fresh Afro-Cuban Style To NYC
José Condé and his band, José Condé y Ola Fresca are channelling the sounds of yesterday and releasing them in the thump of their drums, horns and a host of other rhythms. The Afro-Cuban group is grabbing listener’s attention with their blend of funk, rock, mumba, hatinain compas, cumbia, guaracha, and rumba. Bandleader José Condé was born in Chicago, and was raised in Miami, by parents who fled Cuba in the 60’s. The seeds of his past are heard in his music. A heart stopping smorgasbord of sounds, that bridge the gaps between Cuban and American communities. Influenced by the stories of the world around him, his latest album is entitled (R)Evolución. (R)Evolución focuses on his eternal battle between evolution, rage and regression, and keeps his listeners in a diasporic daze. If you are in the New York area on March 15th head out to the album release party at Joe's Pub and watch José work his magic. 05/01/07
