SomoS is an upbeat sound journey to tropical Latin America through its black, indigenous and spanish musical roots.
Our songs express through Cumbia, Son, Salsa, Currulao and other mainly Colombian/ Cuban genres our love for life, culture, party, recocha (play), celebration, philosophy and social justice.
SomoS brings together some of the top players in the Latin American music scene in the SW of the UK including Michel Padron, Justin Fellows, Benji Muscat and Jose Barco.
Our set is hot, lively and joyful, expect sticky songs in Spanish which will get you dancing till your body drops and the tunes will replay in your head all night long!
We play a range of traditional and modern instruments as part of our set, including the guitar, gaita( Colombian flute), marimba, maraca, charango, trompet, trombone, double bass and latin drum kit.
We play a mixed set with mainly our own material and some covers from some of the greatest songwriters and players in Latinamerica who inspire us such as Hector Lavoe, Fruco Y sus Tesos, el maestro Hugo Candelario, Jose Barros, Lucho Bermudez.
We play plugged or unplugged gigs and our set can be flexible according to where we play.
Somos can be a quartet, trio or duet.
We also run Colombian song workshops and events which bring together the Latin American family in Bristol and showcase our culture in the UK.
