Bio
The Roberto López Project is a polycultural orchestra presenting the original compositions and arrangements of composer and director Roberto López (artiste révélation Radio-Canada Musique 2010-2011 and JUNO Award Nominee). The project captures the essence of traditional Latin rhythms in an urban and contemporary environment, encompassing styles such as Cumbia-Funk, Urban-Mambo, Boogaloo, Latin-Soul, Latin-Reggae, Colombian Pacific coast's Currulao, Colombian Caribbean coast's Porro Pelayero, and 70's Salsa Dura... all mixed with a unique sound. ---------------------------------------------------------- Le Roberto López Project est une orchestre polyculturel qui présente les compositions de Roberto López (Artiste Révélation Radio-Canada Musique et nominé aux Prix JUNO). Puissant, mélodique et contemporaine, le style Nouveau Afro Latin (Nu Afro Latin) se définit par ce mixte aventureux de traditions. De la musique afro-colombienne et afro-cubaine jusqu'au hip hop urbain, au boogaloo, au jazz et à la musique électronique... toutes s'harmonisent ensemble dans un cocktail pétillant.

Sounds Like
"With added African pep and sparkle, and an intriguing fusion of cumbia and Maghrebi raï, two continents seem too little for López! " Rupert Bottenberg – MONTREAL MIRROR /// "Making some serious waves with this sophomore outing... López creates some serious butt-shaking grooves!" Buggs Burnett - MONTREAL HOUR /// « Roberto López est l'un des musiciens latinos les plus créatifs du Québec... il prend un malin plaisir à déjouer le prévisible. » Yves Bernard – LE DEVOIR /// « Roberto revient, quatre ans et mille concerts plus tard, avec un nouvel album plus corsé, organique et mature ! » Ralph Boncy – VOIR /// « Brilliant orchestre... Soy Panamericano est un titre qui va comme un gant à cette tournée des musiques traditionnelles et modernes ! » Philippe Renaud – LA PRESSE
