About

Nostalgia is formed by musicians who share a passion for connecting with people by evoking emotions of the past. Their music is inspired in traditional boleros from the 40s to the 60s, known for its melancholia and romantic lyrics, which have long been the ultimate expression of love and suffering of Latin American music, and have a rare multi-generational appeal. Along with the upbeat son and waltz, they recreate the musical landscape of that time and innovate through their original and contemporary compositions. These Chilean players, with bandleader Benjamín Schnake singing and on the requinto, a smaller traditional guitar of música criolla, along guitar player and deep voice singer Franco Valdés, Fabio Puentes on the fiery percussions, and Puerto Rican bass player Dan Martinez, they have become part of the New York local music scene, where they regularly perform in recognized music venues such as Barbès in Brooklyn, and Terraza 7 in Queens. Nostalgia plans to release their first EP production by the end of 2024.
