Giraldo Piloto & Klímax begin a 5-concert visit in Lima tonight with concerts at Son D'Cuba and Persepolis. The full schedule for the Lima gigs can be found on the Klímax Tours page. The band is as popular as ever with the new hit "La Pelirroja". If you haven't heard it yet do yourself a favor and check it out on Timba.com radio . It has the classic Klímax sound with hardcore vocals by Noel Díaz who is also the song's composer. It is one of the top éxitos of Summer 2011!

  All of the people who talked to us about seeing Maraca live during this current tour said some version of "That was great, we wanted more!"  Well, folks, more has come to your doorsteps -- on Monday, July 25th at 6PM Eastern, Maraca will be performing on the Millennium Stage at the Kennedy Center in Washington DC, and this performance will be webcast live on the Kennedy Center's website.  If you are able to attend the performance live, admission is free, and if you can't attend in person, the webcast is free.  Opportunities like this don't come along very often, so enjoy it while it's there.

The Kennedy Center folks  aren't going to win the "Most Eloquent Description of What A Musician Is Presenting" contest for their promo blurbs, but the fact that they stage these concerts and do these webcasts at all more than compensates for that.  AND, best of all, if you couldn't be there for the live stream, they archive performances on their website.  (Remember though, there's nothing like an in-person experience when you can do it...)

A unique event for Timberos is taking place in Cali, Colombia on August 5th. Two of the most popular representatives of the new generation of timberos will face off mano a mano at theater Jorge Isaacs:. Tirso Duarte and Maykel Blanco y Salsa Mayor. Cali has hosted Tirso before where he was met by screaming fans who knew every song by heart. This will be Maykel Blanco y Salsa Mayor's first concert in Colombia! So don't miss your chance to catch Tirso and Maykel at the same time! I'll let Tirso tell you about it himself.

I am really enjoying the new video/song La Pelirroja by Klímax. Noel Díaz sings lead vocals and there are moments while Noel is "rapping" where it has almost a Charanga Habanera "the second incarnation" feel to it. Noel is also the composer of the song and I must congratulate him on an excellent job. Interestingly, Piloto wrote a song called Pelirroja for the first incarnation of La Charanga Habanera. It was on the Hey You, Loca!   CD with Leo Vera on lead.

But this is not the same song. It's a completely new song with a masterful, classic Klímax arrangement.  The harmonies Piloto uses are unmistakable. I highly recommend this song to DJs!  Disfruten ahora a La Pelirroja ! (Currently #2 on RADIO TIMBA ).
