Kalamary Big Band (click and enjoy the music)

 

This orchestra dominates a full repertoire of latin jazz, vallenato, danzón, pasodoble, porro, salsa and champeta, among other rithms, adapted for the instrumental music format.
The band is made up of 24 career professional musicians, led by maestro Francisco Fortich, who

run the tracks across the strings of saxophones, trombones, trumpets, keyboards, strings and
percussion.

The musical excellence attained by the
Cartagena Big Band since its foundation has
attracted the attention of international music
masters like Justo Almario who has joined the
orchestra and whose first performance was
last August 9th in a two hours concert at the
Convention Center.
