Hump Day Getdown Feat SuenaloSunaloLatin funk. Fusion. Jam band. Multicultural cocktail. Afro-Latin-Baby-Makin-Descarga-Funk. Miamis Suenalo has been crowned the Miami New Times Best of Miami Awards: Best Latin Rock Band in 2005, and most recently Best Latin Band in 2011. Even the lengthy hyphenated description the band came up with themselves falls short of the true breadth of what they represent. If Suenalos one of a kind fusion is hard to pinpoint, its only because no ones ever done anything quite like it before.Afro sounds from Cuba and Puerto Rico meet reggae and rock on top a funky groove. Jazz and electro hook up for a sidewalk make-out session. Hip-hop hums from the pavement, and R&B drifts in the warm nights of Miami. Suenalo reaches to far-flung corners and retrieves all these elements, mashing them together and marrying them into a truly multicultural family.With three albums under their belt, Suenalo has managed to display a mastery of both the studio and the stage. They have shared stages in the past year with the likes of Pitbull, Ozomatli, Chaka Khan, Soullive, Spirogyra, and Doug Wimbish (Living Colour, Lauryn Hill, Mos Def), just to name a few. From their 2003 debut "Collages" to 2006s self-titled studio effort and 2009s "Live at Transit," the band has been hard at work building momentum for their recent selection as an official 2012 SXSW Artist. Crowds should expect the same high energy that they continuously bring to local and national festivals such as Calle Ocho, Carnival on the Mile, Virginia Key Grassroots, Langerado, Tropical Heatwave, and Shakori Hills--and beyond to cities like New York, New Orleans, Asheville, Tampa, Orlando and Chicago.Suenalo has just hit their stride, gelling with what they feel is the most complete lineup ever. With plans to tour in 2012 and an upcoming album due early Summer, be sure to keep this audio melting pot high on your radar.
