Los Flacos performs a blend of the spiciest traditional sounds of Mexico, South
America, and the Caribbean. Using a variety of instruments, some indigenous
to the Americas and others of European and African origin, they create their
own original renditions of the songs of Latin America. Since their formation
in 2002, Los Flacos continues to entertain audiences throughout Seattle and the Pacific
Northwest region.
Diego Coy: Born in Santiago de Cali, Colombia, Diego plays the quena,
quenacho, and the zampona in addition to other woodwinds and percussion
instruments that are native to countries in the Andean region. He applies
jazz improvisation to traditional music in a unique way. Diego Coy also
performs with Grupo Samay and Sin Fronteras.
Abel Rocha: Abel is a Mexican-born vocalist interpreter of "Jarocho music"
and player of many instruments native to Mexico, Venezuela, and Argentina,
including the Venezuelan harp and cuatro, the quinta huapanguera, and the
guitar. His sound is influenced by Andean, mestizo, and criollo rhythms (a
blend of indigenous, African, and European influences). He has recorded
three CDs in collaboration with the group Correo Aereo
(www.correoaereo.com).
Juan Serbulo: He is a self-taught musician born in Oaxaca, Mexico. His
musical flavor and source of inspiration come from the windy tropical Isthmus
of Tehuantepec, a region rich with boleros, tropical dance music, traditional
rhythms, and the New Latin American Song. Playing the guitar has been his
life long love. In 2004 he composed the music for the documentary film
Bi-National Dreams (Suenos Bi-Nacionales, www.petate.com) about his home
state. For the last two years he has also been playing gypsy jazz.
Tim Wetmiller: For several years, Tim has traveled on a regular basis to
Mexico's southwestern states of Guerrero and Michoacan to study the music of
Juan Reynoso and other great violinists of the region known as TierraCaliente.
He also plays gypsy swing music and bluegrass music with local bands
including Hot Club Sandwich (www.hotclubsandwich.com) and
Disfunction Junction
(www.seattlebluegrass.com).
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff

Urraca / Alejandro Flores (Nosie Kontrol) A Alejandro Flores, sonero de cepa, lo conocemos por el trabajo que ha hecho junto a Café Tacuba. Jaranero y violinista, Flores lleva los sonidos de la huasteca morelense —su tierra natal—, de Veracruz y de la tierra caliente en las venas. Pero su acercamiento a estos trasciende lo convencional. En 18 tracks, Flores plantea en Urraca una de las renovaciones más logradas de la música tradicional mexicana, una donde los estilos ignoran sus señas de identidad con el fin de crear nuevos horizontes.
