Jambalaya 37

Bass & Vocals: Darío Balmas Trombone & Chorus: Gabriele Biei Piano & Keyboards: Gilberto Bonetto: Drums: Alessandro Levante Guitar: Enrico Fornato From the experience of a trip to New Orleans the idea of the band was born in 2005. flowing towards the project of Turin musicians of different genres and artistic extraction. The musical style of the band, as well as the Jambalaya, the typical dish of New Orleans, symbol of the fusion of the migration of different cultures in the United States: a kind of spicy soup with rice and enriched with shrimp, meat and vegetables. The new project is the evolution of píndara jambalaya 37' from a band dedicated to experimental music. The idea arises from the desire to step on the pop floor for the first time producing their own songs but without resisting the original sound that distinguishes them: funk, jazz, R&B and many other genres that have always characterized them. The new tracks see the special participation of several singers from the Italians and not, among which is the name of Joyce Yuille, jazz / soul singer of Milan's New York roots. The experiment was to create a creative and deliberately "distorted" musical carpet on which the singers have freely interpreted the song. The mixture of soft colors and more acid sounds typical of underground music wants to express the confusion and instability of the current era. The 2015 live repertoire includes new songs sung by the band's bassist, as well as arrangements in the same style of other Italian and foreign songs, while keeping some of their own instruments.
