Golosa La Orquesta

Chile’s Golosa La Orquesta churns out high-energy, transcendent performances that fuse the old rhythms of Latin America with a contemporary interpretation that has no limits. The band utilizes octave violins, guitars that experiment between the delay and echo reverb, and midi keyboards, fused with the purity of the acoustic accordion and violin, the sound of the bass and the virtuosity in jazz improvisations. It is a musical fusion of tango, chachachá, milonga, waltz, bolero with jazz, rock, pop and world music.

We caught up with this great band at the amazing Vancouver Folk Festival.
