Biography
Kona, Hawaii (2009 – present)
(Excerpted from Leche De Tigre’s official website at www.lechedetigremusic.com)
A blend of musical styles known as latin gypsy funk. Three nylon string guitars, drums, bass, cello, percussion, vocals form the 8-piece group Leche De Tigre, started in 2009 in Kona, Hawaii. In 2011, the band released their debut album, Lactophilia. Their sound, often laced with rock influences, relies on the percussive and melodic impact of acoustic guitars to engage the audience.
Beginnings
Leche De Tigre sprouted from a weekly acoustic jam session in the back of Ceviche Dave’s restaurant in Kona, Hawaii. The musically adventurous and jovial gatherings explored exotic flavors of latin, gypsy jazz, rock, afro-cuban, and classical styles. Within months, it became an event in itself, with a growing audience coming to enjoy the unusual music.
Some band members soon ventured out to play together at other venues, receiving positive responses to their fresh and energetic sound and landing the band gigs. Leche De Tigre continued honing their rocking latin gypsy funk sound playing shows regularly at restaurants, clubs, private events, as well as theater, festival and outdoor concert venues.
First album
As the buzz around Leche De Tigre’s performances grew, the group was encouraged to go into the studio in 2010 to record original compositions for an EP. However, the live-in-the-studio recording session yielded twelve tracks — diverse, yet consistent in their styling.
