Calixto Oviedo & La Maquinaria in Boulder
Timba Comes to My Hometown!
Is it coincidence or is there some greater plan at work? I will be arriving in Colorado on November 24th and it just so happens that on November 25th the Boulder Theater in my hometown of Boulder, Colorado will be hosting a concert by the timba band La Maquinaria featuring Calixto Oviedo ! Now who would have expected that Calixto and I who both live in Stockholm would also run into each other in Boulder of all places? It must be fate. It is a thrill to know I will finally be able to enjoy timba right there at home! See you at Boulder Theater on November 25th!

Osvaldo Chacón Live
Te gusto o te caigo bien
Thank YouTube for making it possible for us to share in great musical moments like this performance of the classic "Te gusto o te caigo bien" by Osvaldo Chacón ! This was the title track from Bamboleo's first CD, and it is a prefect example of what timba is all about. Chacón keeps it just as fresh today as it was in 1996. The video was filmed with a percussion-eye view from right behind the bassist, so it's a special treat for rhythm section fans. I hope he can set up a European tour one of these days so I can catch him live! Or maybe I'll be making a 2013 timba trip to London...Enjoy!
