Local band Catbnta. which will play Sunday night starting at 8. has grown In popularity around tha North
wmat
Caliente to close festival Sunday
The Willamette Valley Folk Festival will close
on a sptcy note Sunday night when local salsa
band Caliente takes the main stage at 8
The nine piece dance ensemble has been capti
vating audiences across the Northwest and else
where since their formation 10 years ago
Besides opening for such notables as Latin jazz
great Tito Puente and New York recording artist
Yomo Toro, Caliente has played to crowds of thou
sands at concerts in Amazon Park, Portland's
Waterfront park and at Seattle’s annual Bomber
shoo! festival
They were the featured band at Eugene's Festival
Latina this year, an event that drew 8,000 people to
the park under the Washmgton-Jefferson street
bridge and recently played at the Festival de la raza
m Tijuana, Mexico.
Critics, as well as crowds, have been impressed
with Caliente The Northwest Music News describes
them as “pure fun " The Regtstef-Guard praises their
“rhythmic energy," and KUGN reviewer Fred Crafts
says "Caliente has it all, solid rock rhythm, artful
soloists, high energy, exciting vocals, and appeal
ing material On the Crafts scale of 1 to 10 with 10
being best, l give Caliente a perfect 10 "
This critical acclaim has helped the word on
Caliente travel tar Their CD has received airplay as
lar east as Washington, D C and as far south as
T ijuana. where the band was surprised to see a man
in the front row wearing a Caliente T shirt
Caiiente's appeal comes through on its self
released CD, Voces Morenas Four brassy horns
wail out a lively melody while the five-man rhythm
section lays down a captivating Caribbean beat that
dares the listener not to dance.
Percussionist Alan Tarpinian explains that the
popularity of Caliente and Salsa music arises from
the fact that "Salsa has something for everybody:
jazz fans like it because the music does a lot of
interesting things that are a lot like jazz, rock fans
and people who are in to dancing like it because it’s
got a great beat to dance to."
Live. Cahente’s show consists of original songs
and traditional salsa numbers from Cuba. Puerto
Rico and New York City. "We do a lot of traditional
Salsa numbers," says Tarpinian. “and even our orig
inals stay true to the orignal salsa sound That sets
us apart, a lot of other bands that used to play salsa
have crossed over and are doing Latin rock, which is
cool, but not what we do "
The members of Caliente vary wildly in their per
sonal and musical backgrounds. All are highly tal
ented musicians with impressive resumes and years
of study under their belts, but the similarity ends
there. Keyboardist Julio Jauregui can boast frequent
performances with the Symphonic Orchestra of
Mexico, while trumpeter Keith Norris has backed up
such popular artists as Diane Schurr and the Temp
tations Bongo player/ vocalist Freddy Orlando
Viiches Meneses has logged time with the Santiago
Opera Choir in his native Chile, and trumpet player
Dave Bender has toured with the Flying Karamazov
Brothers.
"Our band has the musical discipline that comes
from playing classical music and the improvisation
al abilities that come from playing jazz." Tarpinian
says
