KLIMAX Para el Mundo – an album that enhances all Cuban Music, signed by the genius Giraldo Piloto

11/15/2011

Klimax, one of the greatest Cuban orchestras led by maestro Giraldo Piloto, is about to finish the recording of his new disc, which will be released in mid-2012. In the meantime, Piloto has decided of offer an authentic jewel to all the fans of his orchestra and Cuban music as a whole: “Klimax Para el Mundo”.

…

Giraldo Piloto, who’s likely to be the best Cuban drummer of all time, is son of the homonymous Giraldo Piloto, worldwide famous composer brought to success by the pair Piloto-Vera.

Thanks to an eclectic and experimenting talent and an entire life dedicated to this passion, which affected him since he was a baby, Giraldo Piloto has managed to brand his Orchestra with a unique and distinctive music mark. The sound of Klimax is in fact the fusion of all the popular danceable music where salsa, timba, rumba, son montuno, Yoruba music and cha cha cha mix with jazz (of which Piloto is great interpreter) and the most widespread streams of international music, such as pop and rock.

A peculiar music synthesis which is remarkably represented in this Album, with a prevalence of Timba (with two great Jazz tracks and a balada) embellished with solos by the great Chucho Valdes, Pupy Cesar Pedroso and Piloto himself on the drums.
