Rimbombante has been winning over fans with their exciting brand of hook laden Latin jazz. People from jazz purist to casual musical fans are hearing something special in Rimbombante. After an unexpected hiatus the group is ready to re-establish itself on the jazz and World-Music circuits. Rimbombante's Bolero Past: Rimbombante is a Spanish term that denotes something flamboyant or having a strong resonance. It is also the name of an Ottawa-based band playing music inspired by Latin America. Rimbombante is part of Majunga Music, a small entity guiding the music of World-Music and jazz acts. Rimbombante began in 2006 interpreting classic bolero songs from Latin America. The bolero is like a jazz ballad only it has a stronger rhythmic quality. In 2008, Rimbombante recorded Una Aventura Más that is collection of classic bolero covers with a few originals. The reaction to the originals was strong enough to encourage Rimbombante to develop an original repertoire. Soon afterwards Dean Pallen, the group's saxophonist, began writing the new material. In the winter of 2010, Rimbombante began practising the new repertoire with an expanded ensemble and playing them around Ottawa and Eastern Ontario and Quebec to work out the kinks. The result is Maria has Lost her Soul that was recorded in 2011-2012. The Rimbombante Sound of Today: The current repertoire of Rimbombante encompasses a broad array of Latin, jazz and popular music influences. When Rimbombante expanded the group it incorporated musicians from Brazil and Cuban and this has enabled Rimbombante to expand musically. The key is how the Latin heritage of the musicians of Rimbombante intersects with the varied compositions and musical structures of the group's repertoire. The Rimbombante sound is defined by it's melodies, mixture of styles and Latin rhythms and tempo and overall accessibility without a sense of compromise. While the Rimbombante sound might still employ the classic bolero sound, the 3-2 clave or rare Brazilian rhythms, it is the meshing of these elements with Dean Pallen's unique compositions that make the Rimbombante sound.

Press coverage on Rimbombante ******************************************************** Beyond bolero Dean Pallen and Rimbombante get all romantic May 12 2011 From the Wig by Allan Wigney Ottawa-based saxophonist Dean Pallen says he was hesitant to do an official launch of his band Rimbombante's first album, Una Aventura. Which is OK, according to Pallen, who is now preoccupied with the subsequent evolution of his Latin-flavoured combo, a group that features four musicians of Latin American descent, and specializes in romantic rhythms born of the bolero. Or, at least, that was the focus for the band in it's initial incarnation, some four years ago. We played a lot and I let it die, Pallen says of the project. We were playing in a particular style, and I didn't want to be branded with that. I didn't want it to be a limiting thing, I wanted to do something that responded to people's call for something different. He also wanted to concentrate on original compositions, brought to the group by Pallen, and fact-checked by the band's Latin members. We still play music that has a romantic spin on it, Pallen says, but it's much more varied rhythmically. He attributes this to the addition of Cuban drummer Arien Villegas, to augment the percussion section. He also credits the importance of pia Diego Suarez, Canta Me (Sing to Me), Get Happy (Seas Feliz), Redemption (Redención), Rimbombante Me, Ella a la Playa (That One at the Beach), I Would Never Let You Fall (Yo Nunca Te Dejara Caer), Maria Has Lost Her Soul (Maria Ha Perdido Su Alma), 21 Extras Days of Summer (21 Días Extras de Verano)
