LA 33 (SALSA / FUNK / JAZZ BAND)
La-33 was born in the year 2001 as the life project for the brothers Sergio and Santiago Mejia who thanks to its exposition and projection turned out to be the objective, the reason and until the necessity of an extensive work party that includes from musicians to an audio-visual team. Like the "salsa dura" from the 70's La-33 was born in an urban environment, to be more precise in the city of Bogotá (Colombia) on 33rd street, now you know where the band name comes from. After a prudent gestation time La-33 consolidates as a group of 11 musicians who at the rate of their commitment and the pressure of their listeners, partiers and followers decided to sponsor by themselves their first album "La-33" that was presented to the public on December 2004. Thanks to this independent recording La-33 started sounding all over the world mainly by "La Pantera Mambo" song that includes an adaptation of the melodic line of Henry Manzini's "Pink Panther". Without no support but the power of their music and their live shows full of energy La-33 it's been able to reach different countries such as Colombia, Ecuador, Venezuela, Belgium, Italy, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Holland, Spain and England participating in important festivals next to artists like Chucho Valdez, Los Van Van, Isaac Delgado, Ng la banda, Willie Colon, Cheo Feliciano, Larry Harlow, Jerry Rivera, Orishas and Kinky among others. During the year 2006 the young and talented singer Pablo Martinez enters to thicken the rows of La-33. He will debut in the new album programmed to be given to the world during the second semester of 2007.
