Sounds Like
La Revancha has different line-ups, when the full band plays
reviews have stated (Toledo Blade, CDBABY.com) that
it sounds like a "Latin Dave Matthews".. (which the band takes
as a great compliment !)... when it is an acoustic show (guitar and
violin or cello or trumpet) it sounds like a folk/ reggae fusion jam with blended
melodies of instruments and vocals.
"La Revancha" (Spanish
for "The Rematch") is a blend of rhythms created by an
acoustic guitar, base & drums, fussed with colored
melodies from a violin, a trumpet and an electric
guitar. The main purpose of La Revancha is to create
music as a way to connect with people, nature and our
environment, with the intention to embrace inner peace
and spiritual freedom.
La Revancha is a Latin
Folk/Fusion music project that has two recorded CD's
under Cosanostra Music (Canyon Country, CA). After
releasing their first CD ("Locura", spanish for
"Insanity" ), in Mexico City on June 2003, the band
started getting airplay in Mexico City, Los Angeles, NY
and many other cities. "Locura" - Insanity - is the
opportunity to dare social opinion by acting on your
love rather than your fears.
Locura represents that
path to be free with any feeling, any emotion keeping
respect to nature and everyone else... to be consistent,
to be sensitive, to be REAL... for some that is labeled
as being "insane".
On March 20th , 2004 La
Revancha released their second album , "El Zarape" ( "
El Zarape " is the icon of the Mexican Restaurant that
has opened the doors to "La Revancha" for live shows
across the USA). La Revancha has performed at the Rock
and Roll Hall of Fame (Latino Heritage Day, August 8th,
2004), at the Black Swamp Arts Festival (Bowling Green,
OH, rated as one of the most important arts Festivals in
the Country), and also in NYC's Central Park / (Tavern
on the Green outdoor stage) during the NYC's 2004 & 2005
Marathon Festivities. Other performances include a
variety of large events, nightclubs, museums, rallies
and more...
