Los Viejos Blanquitos

Los Viejos Blanquitos was formed in the fall of 2000 and is based in Athens, Ohio. This six piece band performs a style of music that combines the richness of jazz harmony, melody and improvisation with the infectious rhythms indigenous to Latin and Afro-Cuban music. The sound of the band is achieved by combining saxophone, flugelhorn and a seldom used instrument, the marimba, with a traditional Latin rhythm section comprised of piano, bass and percussion. Their music is as exciting as it is infectious and their reputation as spread all over the East.
