PAPALOTE
8.00
Papalote delivers an irresistible, rhythm-driven sound that moves both heart and feet. Rooted in the vibrant tradition of son montuno from Cuba — with its interplay of intricate rhythms, poetic storytelling, and spontaneous improvisation — the band spins the classics into a soulful, layered sound that’s danceable and deeply musical.
Anchored by the traditional rhythm section of tres guitar, bongos, bass, and vocals, Papalote adds piano, conga, flute, clarinet, and saxophone, weaving a rich tapestry of grooves and melodies.
Inspired by legendary Cuban greats such as Arsenio Rodríguez, yet unafraid to push boundaries, Papalote dives into lesser-known genres such as changüí and nengón. This fearless fusion honours the roots of son while propelling it into a new era — vibrant, unexpected, and undeniably alive.
Papalote is: Neil Gardiner - lead vocals, piano; Larry Lewis - tres guitar, classical guitar, vocals; Jonno Lightstone - flute, saxophones, vocals; Mario Allende - percussion; Yoser Rodriguez - bass.
