What an honor to play with Bruno Mendez’s Rumba Kings at the Radio Caracol Stage at the 2016 Calle Ocho Festival! Check out the article from ActualMag about us – with video, photos, and more!
“Planetarium a popular group, captivated the crowd with plena music, a type of sound which began more than 100 years ago bringing the stories of Puerto Rico’s history and folklore to the world. It became popular in the 1990’s when modern sounds were incorporated to it. I was invited back to play with Freddy Velaz y Su Banda Swing a second time at 2014 Calle Ocho Festival – Miami’s largest Hispanic festival! A great crowd at the Radio Caracol Stage enjoyed punta, cumbias, bachata, y merengue!
Great crowd, amazing time playing plena with Plenatarium at this Puerto Rican street festival held for the second time in Miami! Enjoyed Carlos’s singing, Henry’s percussion, Charlie, Dannie, Jimmy, Perry, and Carlos on congas and panderetas, bass by Vincent, Josue on trumpet, Danny on keys, and more! Amazing day of salsa music at Hollywood Beach with the David Rodriguez Band and Orquesta Expression!
Thanks to http://ericsonsmith.com for the amazing pictures! Playing more trombone at 2012 Mardi Gras with Phil Morales and the Orqesta SalsaBuena! This continues the first public appearance of Phil’s songs with a full salsa band that I’m proud to be part of! This song is “Esposa Querida”. Debbie plays trombone on this premier of Negra Zandugera, an original salsa song by Phil Morales and the Orqesta SalsaBuena! This Mardi Gras Festival is the first public appearance of the song with a full salsa band, and I’m proud to be part of it! Phil’s dream was 10 years in the making. It’s quite an accomplishment to finally hear his original music performed with our 10+ piece salsa band! Amazing outdoor afternoon gig with Hector “Tito” Colon y Orquesta la Unika! We were a 13-piece salsa band and we closed the evening at the Latin Spice food festival at beautiful Pinecrest Gardens with high energy songs including Juana Pena, Mi Gente, and Salsa Con Clase.  Orquesta La Unika spicing it up at Pinecrest Garden's Latin Spice festival! Debbie was invited to march and play in the 13-piece James Madritsch Band at Bayview’s spectacular 4th of July Parade – complete with cannons and fire trucks cooling down the day! The Humboldt Park Association judges awarded Bonegal, Dale ‘Mr. Trumpet’, James Madritsch, Jake the trombone, Greg Doby, and others “Number 1 Unit” in the parade!
Sat in with Blai Fontanal’s band performing the sounds of Amaparita Roca, Tablon, and Brazil through the narrow streets on this 4 hour parade in Sitges for Carnaval 2011! People threw confetti, danced, cheered, partied, drank, marched, and celebrated this long-time tradition outside Barcelona!
Deb jammed on bone with Rumbon D’ Esquina in Milwaukee’s Historic Mitchell District at Casa Vieja’s outdoor Summer Party! After the rain let up, the 10 musicians of Rumba D’ Esquina kept the crowd dancing to 2 hours of high-energy Latin tunes like Vamos A Rier Un Poco, Se Le Ve, Sacude La Mata, Ella Menea, and Con Fuego! Great guys; amazing music – thanks Tony! Enjoy these photos from the gig!
