The Big Maracas

• Links

Local Latino rhythms fronted by Venezuelan ex-patriot Enrique Gonzales. “The Maracas delve into many branches of Latin and Tropical music, being particularly fond of the great Cuban traditions and Brazilian samba, but that’s only the beginning. A few of the styles you’ll hear from the Big Maracas include Son, Mambo, Cha-cha-cha, Rumba, Salsa, Cumbia, Boogaloo, Calypso, Plena, Forro, Tango, and many others, sometimes including Latin Rock, or other as-of-yet uninvented sub-genres.”
