Orquesta Cache

Orquesta Cache play Salsa. Their passion for the music is infectious and gets both salsa enthusiasts and those new to the sensuous Latin American rhythms straight on the dance floor. Cache are a lively and accessible outfit that bring a vibrant spark to all the different rhythms that make up salsa – mambo, rumba, cha-cha, bomba, merengue, bolero…..

Salsa is a seductive Latin American music form which originated in Cuba (fusing the rhythms of West Africa with the romanticism for Spanish music and American jazz traditions). It is about dancing – making it perfect for festivals, functions, clubs and parties.

Orquesta Cache? have a flexible line-up. For the full Salsa experience, the ten piece band shows what live music is all about – a characterful ensemble, great musicianship and fun. Their hot-blooded salsa sound is produced by the searing, scintillating brass section (trumpet, trombone and saxes), three percussionists, piano, bass and two lead vocalists, whose male and female harmonies give this combo the edge. Additionally, the band has a special enthusiasm for danceable Latin jazz. For intimate functions, the band can appear in smaller ensembles – right down to a trio playing Latin jazz. They can also provide a Latin DJ if required.

Cache is fronted by Latin American singers Jorge Trujillo and Christina Zumel; the rhythm section includes Andy ‘El Flaco’ Warner (bongos), Juan Luis ‘Chino’ Martel (congas) and Toby Herschmann (timbales), Chrisito Goodsell (bass) and Tim Sharp (piano); the brass section comprises Domingo Rablah (trumpet, flugelhorn), Raul Fernandez and Derrick Coonghe (saxes, flute).
