PAULITO F.G. Y SU ELITE
TIMBA music is the hottest, new musical genre from Cuba that has erupted on to the world music scene in years. Timba is comprised of an exciting mix of traditional Cuban music, rock, Salsa, hip-hop, jazz, and R&B. Globally there are hundreds of websites (e.g. www.timba.com and www. www.sastom.demon.nl), radios shows and nightclubs dedicated to this new form. One of the top timba groups is (and my personal favorite) PAULITO F.G. Y SU ELITE.
|
|
PAULITO F.G. (Fernandez Gallo), lead singer and group leader, is known
for his streetwise musical genius, dynamic barrio dancing and hypnotic,
high-energy performances. He is considered the Latino "Babyface"
because during his performance woman often rush the stage, faint mid-concert and tear their clothes off. |
PAULITO F.G. began his career at the age of five and by his twenties he was a seasoned professional. He performed with the the popular bands of Adalberto Alvarez and Dan Den. His big break came in 1989 when he joined Opus 13 and revamped their music and performance style. In 1992 he formed PAULITO Y SU ELITE and the group began touring internationally-- breaking box office records in nightclubs concert halls throughout Europe, Asia, and Latin America. PAULITO F.G. Y SU ELITE has received numerous musical honors - two include Cuba’s EGRAM awards (their version of the GRAMMY) in the categories of best new artist and performer.
PAULITO F.G. Y SU ELITE makes their first visit to the United States in February 2001 with their "Getting to Know You Tour". Februrary 9-11 he will perform at the Bay Area’s number one salsa dance club, Kimball’s Carnival located at 522 Second Street in Oakland’s Jack London Square. The tickets are $20.
