Babalu specializes in World Music Festivals and has released their first CD:
Australiano Latino, a self-financed EP that was bestseller at Carnavale NSW.
“This eight-piece Australian salsa outfit is led by the impressive phrasings of Colombian singer
Irma Monsalve Botero.
The steady staccato percussion keeps your hips tilting ever so slightly while your feet stutter-step in sync.
The bold blasts of the tight horn section add just the right amount of Cuban seasoning, igniting the spirit and soul of Latin American dance.”
