Bio
Orquesta Taino began as a project to deliver salsa and latin jazz in August of 2009. Inspired by bands and individuals such as Ray Barretto, Tito Rodriguez, Tito Puente, Machito, Willie Rosario, Bobby Valentin, Manny Oquendo y Libre, Eddie Palmieri and many others, TAINO has developed into one of the most solid, hard-hitting Salsa bands in the area. The band is led by Percussionist and Lead Vocalist, Aaron Routtenberg. Aaron has toured and performed with some of the biggest names in Salsa including Jerry Rivera, Tito Nieves, La India, Tito Rojas, Tony Vega, and many more. The percussion section features two of the most talented drummers in Northern California. With Carlos Caro's tumbao on the conga, and Eddie Diaz's tasty "repiques" on bongo, this rhythm section is sure to get you on the dance floor. On bass, Orquesta Taino is proud to present veteran band leader and musician, Gilbert Roman while the extremely talented Erick Peralta occupies the piano chair. The sizzling horn section is proud to
have Abel Figueroa and Charly Aguilar on trombone, while Carlos McCoy dazzles audiences with his baritone sax and flute. With this strong vocal section, swinging rhythm section, and blazing horn section that will make you move, we invite you to experience a musical pleasure that you won't soon forget. Prepare yourselves for ORQUESTA TAINO!
