About the Artist
As an independent music company, we have recently launched a new artist; Gato + The Palenke Music Co. They were selected as the first Latin artist in Residency 2008-2009 by the Center for Arts & Music, Strathmore in Rockville Maryland. The seven-member band launched its debut album in March of 2008 “La Situacion” (The Situation). With the band’s unique sound, created and polished during six intense years of live performances, the album was recently nominated in three categories at the Wammies as best Latin Duo/Group, best Latin Recording, and best Debut Recording. The album was also awarded best World Artist by the Toronto Exclusive Magazine in late 2008. The music features a rich fusion of upbeat, diverse Latin American rhythms and contemporary sounds, accompanied by intelligent and humane lyrics. Strings and percussion are the sole instruments relied on, in this original independent production.Technical Requirements:
