TC FAm,
We are disappointed to say that our February 18, show in Chapel Hill has been cancelled. The venue recieved a lot of water damage and cannot do shows until it has been repaired. We will keep you posted on an updated date for Tropic Culture to perform at Mansion 462.
Thank you for you understanding and apologies from us and Mansion 462.
See you soon,
Tropic Culture
Hi Music world and TC fams,
We are excited to start a series of blogs with a podcast in it. Some will be with interviews, others will be just live recordings, and from time to time we will add some new material and ideas for you to ponder on. But first let us tell you that we are entering the Chapel Hill, NC scene this Thursday February 18, 2010 at Mansion 462. Love to have all of you there to support. Ok below is a live recirding of one of our songs "Noche Guerra". Hope you enjoy and let us know what you think. More songs to come soon.
Remember our next full band show is at Mansion 462 in Chapel Hill, NC.
Much Love,
Tropic Culture
Hi Music world,
It has been a great week for Tropic Culture. Although the wheather is a nuisance, we still are moving along with having our shows. Last Saturday we had an acoustic set at Pura Vida. The snow and ice did not help but we decided to do it anyway,. A full house of listeners and we thank Teresa once again for making it happen and facilitating our music. The following Sunday we performed for a festival conference where we build relationships with event sponsors and agents. It was a great experiences. Later in the week we went up to Greensboro to perform at the Blind Tiger. Had a great time. Thanks for the pizza. Today we will be performing at the Double Door Inn in Charlotte, NC. This will be a turning point for Tropic Culture as we are performing for some industry professionals. Wish us Luck. More importantly we hope that all can make it out . The opening band will be a Funk-reggae band called ZF and the Essentials. See you tonight.
Much Love,
Tropic Culture
Happy Holidays and a fun new Years. As always be safe and have a designated driver. Lots of good things coming for 2010. Keep on the loop as we are coordinating with our community at large. Also when you get a chance, we would like to hear your thoughts on our new website. Something new for the New Years.
Happy Holidays,
Tropic Culture
Yesterday evening we had the privilege to perform an acoustic set at Pura Vida Worldly Art in Charlotte, NC. The listen ing room in the back has a great intimate atmosphere where all get to experience the vibe of the music and emotional transitions and interpretations. Familiar faces were seen as well as new unknown faces. We thank Teresa for the opportunity and greatly appreciate all who were there for the performance. A unique event happened yesterday. Petey, who is typically our bass player, took upon himself to try to play the Puerto Rican Cuatro. The Cuatro is a 5 course 10 string instrument. Its along the family line of guitars but smaller. It was a great success and he did a phenomenal job. Just another arsenal added to our repertoire of instruments. Yesterday we had Petey, Gabe, Alberto, Jani, and Jorge come together to show half the size of Tropic Culture. Instruments represented were guitars, Bass, Cuatro, Vocals, Latin Percussion and Violin. We look forward to doing it again soon. Coming up this Thursday is our Full band gig at the Visulite Theater. Hope to see you all there.
