Techapalooza 2015 Archives
Online Sound Machine
Emerging from frigid Winnipeg winters is Online Sound Machine — a 12-piece Latin-infused dance band playing warm, sunny music — an island oasis of vitamin D for your ears. The full horn section compliments a core group of rhythm including timbales, congas and other Latin percussion, keys, and guitars. Inspired by Latin and Latin-inspired pop and rock groups including the Buena Vista Social Club, Miami Sound Machine, and Santana, their Latin sound will transport you to sun-drenched, white sand beaches, margaritas, and conga lines. In the words of Gloria Estevan, “Don’t you worry that you can’t dance, let the music move your feet!”
Techapalooza hasn’t seen anything quite like this before. Bailar con nosotros!
