The Venezuelan band ARENA is the hybrid configuration of Afro-Caribbean sounds, Iberian odours and Latin-American colours expressed trough six musicians with a shared passion for warm and contagious music styles such as Salsa, Flamenco, Cuban Son, Timba, Rumba Española and Latino-jazz.
The band was formed eight years ago by the inseparable duo of Leonardo Gil Beroes and Román Gerdel Esculpi; lead and second voices, rhythm and solo-guitarists and responsible for the songs.
Within the band they unite the incredible solo- skills of guitar player Román, the authenticity of songwriter Leonardo, the contagious bass of Juan-Pablo and the percussive freshness and precision of Argentinean drummer Hugo Iozzolino and percussionists Harry and Bartolo.
Guaco are an intergenerational group and have been around for more than 30 years.
Since then the band has evolved into the one of the greatest tropical orchestras of all time.
To my mind the music offered on this 2000 release, Equilibrio is a stunning example of what Guaco is all about….firmly Latin, imbued with a Venezuelan spirit, superbly composed melodies and arrangements that are as tight as a pin and rhythms that swirl out in polyphonic stacks.
