De La Buena
Afro Cuban/Latin Jazz
Employing jazz harmonic sensibility and a deep-seated love of diverse cultures, De La Buena explores the textures and rhythms of Latin music from the Americas with roots planted firmly in African diasporic traditions.
Growing from a trio into a powerful ten-piece band over the last six years, De La Buena has been electrifying audiences with their own brand of Afro-Cuban and Latin jazz. De La Buena is ever conscious of the influence and necessary respect for tradition… yet a band willing to inject sophisticated, psychedelic sensibilities into an aggressive, expansive framework.
“In my 23 years of concert promotion and 17 years owning Shank Hall, it is rare treat to find exciting new bands these days. De La Buena is a fresh sound in Milwaukee. They take performing seriously and work very hard at a strong stage performance and show promotion.”–Peter Jest, owner, Shank Hall
