LOS ANGELES (Top40 Charts/ Los Ciegos Del Barrio) - Fresh, driving, lively and bold, the formidable and eclectic Los Ciegos Del Barrio commands upbeat yet fun-loving music and silly but often philosophical lyrics in their new album "¿Por Que? ¡Porque...!" The album can best be categorized as a multi-genre Latin album including aspects of merengue, bachata, West African music, salsa, rap, reggaeton and Latin rock to name a few. The album name translates to "Why? Because...!" which is meant to symbolize their pride in incredible musical diversity and spirit. Los Ciegos Del Barrio, an all blind band as their name implies, has had their music dubbed "impressive" by El Pueblo
Latino and "rocking...rollicking revelry" by Elyse's County Journal of Connecticut.
"¿Por Que? ¡Porque...!" is currently being digitally distributed through CDBaby, iTunes and Amazon among others. With an increasing influx of Internet and terrestrial radio play and interview requests, Los Ciegos continues to reaffirm their great artistry in the Tri-State region. Their signature reggaeton track, 'Ciegueton,' has received much positive feedback, including an accolade of Track of the Week on the Latin Charts of Garageband.com. The National Federation for the Blind (NFB) has embraced Los Ciegos del Barrio with open arms, and the band has given proceeds from album sales to the Mary Ann Parks Scholarship put forth by the Performing Arts Division of the NFB.
The CD Release Show will take place at the pleasantly neon-lit Parkside Lounge in the heart of the bustling Lower East Side. The venue is acclaimed for its well-priced drinks, its spaciousness, and various bar-games, and its high-caliber candlelit musical performance room. Los Ciegos will be joined by the gifted and talented Japanese Gypsy rock band Kagero and the up-and-coming, driven alternative ska rock band Dreadbeat Dadz, combining to render a formidable night in music.
