Listening to Carabali, one imagines old times returning. Yes, those far-gone yesteryears when jazzed-up six-piece bands played Salsa music with piano, bass, vibes, the obligatory rhythm components of timbales, bongo, congas, plus a sonero singing backed by well-harmonized coro voices. In Carabali, that thriving combination is repeated. The group has that groove dancers have missed and searched for unsuccessfully in today's standard music productions, often monotonous. Carabali, directed by percussionist Raúl 'Primo' Alomar, backing the vocals by Aris Martinez, is a small but great compendium of Salsa power. It is an 'All-Caribbean-Fire' that carries something our popular music needs.

Carabali was founded in 1986 in New York City by Primo Alomar, who plays congas in the band. We have been playing in New York City, Puerto Rico and Europe as well as states surrounding NYC.

Indeed, it seems as if sextets are going to make "Salsa" fans dance once again, the ones that prefer less noise but a lot of funk, on stage and in the records. Such is the formula.

Carabali, directed by percussionist Raúl "Primo" Alomar, backing the vocals by Aris Martinez, with arrangements by experts-on-the-subject, is a small but great compendium of Salsa power. It is an "All-Caribbean-Fire" that carries something our popular music needs. Wonderful idea! Wonderful band this named... Carabali!
