This was a truly special day for us here at BT. Maracuyá is San Diego's first Cuban Timbá band created by Diego Velasquez who also plays Timbales in the group. To quote Omar Lopez "Diego is the only guy crazy enough to start a 16 piece orchestra in the middle of a pandemic". Like Barn Time itself, this band probably wouldn't have come to be if it wasn't for the world shutting down over night. Mostly because these guys are usually traveling around the world and busy with other musical endeavors. These musicians have dedicated their lives to this music, they eat and breathe the rhythms. Since this music is dance music it wouldn't have been the same without the Iroko Dance Company (https://www.instagram.com/irokosdfranchise/?hl=en) They really impressed us with their traditional moves. Reach out to them if you want to learn! This gathering was so legendary and exciting for us so we had to move it to the front yard and invite a few family members. The band was so tight and on fire I think the whole neighborhood had a smile on their faces and a groove in their step. I think it was by far the highlight of our quarintime. We hope you appreciate the wisdom, talent, and dedication that this group brings. We are forever grateful for the love and inspiration brought to us by Maracuyá. Thanks again legends!
