The band is called Chicano Power Revival, CPR Orquestra for short! In fact, the singer featured in this group is Linda Rondstats niece, Marisa Rondstat! She can belt them out....

Onile, Love the Fat Congas!!
Everybody around here swears by their heads! We all get them when our old heads wear out.
Rondstat for a singer! That's a claim to fame!

Here's some pics from our band..BushTic We classify ourselves Heavy Ethnic Power Groove, since it's hard to confine exactly what we do. You can see by the instruments that it's not normal. Unfortunately, I don't have any pics with my congas yet (I promise I actually play conga with them), but they think of me primarily as their didjeridu player.. So, the one with the big didj, that's me :D
What do you guys think of our dancers!?!?
We have lots of fans that come primarily for the eye candy! :p

Alafia Windhorse!
Yo! My teeth are hurtin' with all of the eye candy! Youch! What a group, it really seems quite exotic,with all of the different instruments! You have to have some pretty strong lungs to play that instrument of yours don't you? "BushTic" that's a really cool name! I can imagine the marriage of the sounds must be really moving!
I actually had a student a couple of years ago who played in a band which had a didjeridu player, along with some other electric instruments (guitar, bass, keys). He gave me a copy of their CD and I still enjoy listening to it.

Love the pics! Post more, of course with you on congas!
What type of congas are those by the way?

Suave!

By the way Windhorse!
Are those Sennheiser E604s on your drums?
I have been using them for the past several years, they're fantastic!

Odabo!

Yes they are! And the congas are Sol Classics by Akbar.
