Tu Gusto Musical... feat. Hector Lugo y La Mixta Criolla
La Mixta Criolla is a dynamic music and dance ensemble founded by percussionist, singer, songwriter Hector Lugo. The groupâs distinctive sound balances the color and range of the Puerto Rican and the Venezuelan cuatros â"indigenous Caribbean guitars descendant of the North African string instruments that came to the region via AndalucÃa, Spain â" the bass guitar, and the accordion, with the percussive drive of the barrel shaped Bomba drums, the panderos of the Plena, and the gÃÃcharo- bongà tandem of the MÃsica JÃbara of the Puerto Rican countryside. La Mixtaâs performances also feature traditional Bomba dancing. Bomba, a centuries old form of Afro-Puerto Rican music and dance, is characterized by spontaneous improvisation and the dynamic dialogue established between the dancer and the lead drummer.
