For the past 12+ years Bio Ritmo has treated audiences across America to its own unique and inspiring vision of what a salsa band can be. The nine-member salsa machine has performed in Puerto Rico and toured five times across the United States. The last time the group hit the stage here at SOBs, people were talking about the event weeks later. Bio Ritmo are comfortable performing in a variety of settings and their willingness to play in venues which more typically showcase rock or jazz music has lead to an eclectic mix of fans. Fresh in its energy and confidence, the sound evokes the simplicity and freedom of classic Nuyorican salsa. Flavored with bomba, samba, charanga, and even a bolero, the band treats the listener as well as the dancer with it's incredible grooves, inspiring solos, and soul-searching lyrics.
Beginning with its birth in 1991 as a rhythm driven drummer's ensemble, Bio Ritmo has sought to connect with its fans every second it spends on stage and with every song it commits to record. Embracing the stripped-down and straight-up street-wise salsa sound thats so rare in today's contemporary Latin music scene, Bio Ritmo's "old school with a twist" approach is converting skeptics and delighting dancers & audiences everywhere they play. The band has been building up a serious fan-base here in New York- their last appearance downtown had the group playing a 2-hour plus show, and the crowded, sweaty audience begged for more! Don’t miss this show and hear later about how great it was!
