Ashe, signifying life force and energy in Yoruba language and culture, is also a powerful concept in Cuban popular and folkloric culture. Timba, or modern Cuban Salsa at its most energetic and multifaceted, is an urban expression that fuses native African and Cuban rhythms, as well as Afro-American Funk, Jazz, Soul, and Go Go. Aramis Pazos Barrera, a native of the neighborhood el Cerro in Havana, Cuba, has formed his own group to continue to promote this tradition in the United States. He and his musicians want to introduce Americans to another style of Salsa, different from Puerto Rican salsa and "Salsa Romantica."
Ashe is composed of three singers (1 woman and 2 men), three percussionists (drum set/timbales, congas, and bongo), 1 bassist, 1 pianist, 1 saxophonist, 1 flute player, 2 trombonist, and 1 trumpet player. Although we appeal to young popular audiences, we celebrate the traditions that are nostalgic for older audiences; our music is made for everyone that loves to dance!
