Store Categories LOS HACHEROS Pilon / LP NEW VINYL / Chulo 2013

A band of only 5 musicians, Los Hacheros manage to sound like a conjunto of 12. Eddie Venegas (Marc Anthony, Orquestra Broadway) plays trombone, violin and sings chorus, Itai Kriss (Edmar Castaneda, Grupo Latin Vibe) sings, plays flute, campana, and guiro, while Jimenez is in charge of lead vocals and congas. William Ash (Alfredo de la Fe, Brenda K Starr) holds down the tumbaos on baby bass while Plasse plays the tres, a guitar-like instrument originating from the Oriente Province in Cuba. Utilizing this unique instrumentation, Los Hacheros draw on son, charanga and salsa to create a sound distinctly their own.

Los Hacheros debut album “Pilon,” out now on Chulo Records, was recorded live on a 388 Tascam tape machine. No computers, no headphones, no overdubs. “So much of the energy of the classic Fania and Alegre recordings comes from a group of great musicians interacting and playing off each other in a live setting,” says Plasse. “But that way of recording isn’t done anymore in Latin music, and so much of the magic is lost.” With their gritty and soulful sound, Los Hacheros have claimed some of that magic as their own, earning the praise of die-hard salseros while also introducing a younger generation to the music’s beauty and enduring vitality.
