Gliding the line between World, Latin Alternative, and Funk, Brooklyn based Cuban American singer, writer, and producer Jose Conde slides from a booty shaking groove in poetic, universal themes of nature’s beauty, to personal expressions of romantic longing and loss. His new record (6-1-2011-PIPIKI) is peppered with diverse influences from Africa to Brazil, from Peru to Cuba to New Orleans, with most songs in Spanish but also in Portuguese, and English. Though Conde may be compared to Caetano Veloso, Manu Chao or Jack Johnson, he has a unique style and intriguing voice of his own as has been noted by many respected reviewers. Conde was the Winner of the 2008 BEST LATIN RECORD in the Indy Music awards and received rave reviews for the unveiling of his new band at Central Park Summer stage in NY last June (All About Jazz). website * EPK video * Make an offer
