Banda Conmoción

More than a band "la conmocion" is an artistic collective, nineteen musician who enjoy playing among the people and over the stage. it isn't weird to see them putting their instruments down during their presentations, playing while they get comfortable among their audience, then everything becomes into a delirious carnival, and a big party on the concrete. The Conmocion Band is a troup, a family which plays together for 7 years by now, and maybe that's why instead of records, their memories are only in those who had have the pleasure of being there. they started in 2001 as a pararel musical project of the Mendicantes, next, they continued playing in ceremonies like marriages, baptism and funerals, before they get to the stages in 2005. They are attached to the instrumental northern tambo, traditional parties, the cumbia, el porro, the cuyahuadas, vals, the bolero, the San juanito. We dare to say they have chosen as their roots the love their have for latin american music, and since some years by now they have included some gypsy music; and that is how their are extendeded and spread their music, with their characteristic style, mixing as if they were some saltpeter stillworking band. the Conmocion band has shared latelly the scenary with artists like Mankasaya, Arak Pacha, Mauricio Redoles, Manuel Sanchez, Alfonso Rubio, Los Mentaos, Los trukeros, Escuela Chinchin tirapie, Juana Fe, La Mano Ajena, Chico Trujillo, La Floripondio, Los Fiscales adok, Los Miserables, Patogallina Saundmachin, Sonora Palacios, Sinergia, Anita Tijoux, Escaso aporte, Sonora de llegar, Sol y Lluvia, Francesca Ancarola, Jose Sevez, Banda Fuerza Maestra , Banda Proyección, La todo mal orquesta, Es Comediant ,among some others. "Sonido Esencial" (essential sound), for seven years they have been promoting the sound which doesn't need electricity and this has allowed the band to get to many places giving the people the experience of their first work called "PREGONERO". Tinkus, cha-cha-cha, cumbias and gypsy rithms, listened in the peruvian and bolivian instrumental bands, and the papayians from Colombia, besides the gypsy fanfares form the balcanic region are the influences nursering this record. The subjects presented in this production are written and composed by the band and they were gested during 2005. eventhough it was recorded in Chile, the mixing was made in Postdam, Alemania and the masterization is on its last stage in Berlín. the release of "PREGONERO" is dated to november 12th at Galpon Victor Jara in Santiago-Chile.
