Trying to
describe Brave Combo’s music requires a pretty
extensive vocabulary – at least when it comes to
musical styles. For the past three decades the
Denton, Texas based quintet has perfected a world
music mix that includes salsa, meringue, rock,
cumbia, conjunto, polka, zydeco, classical, cha cha,
the blues and more. They are America’s
Premier Dance band and a rollicking, rocking,
rhythmic global journey -- offering what one critic
recently wrote, “Even if you come for the party,
you'll leave with something of a musical
education.”
Brave Combo’s
catalog of recordings range from Japanese pop to
Latin American dance tunes, to the orchestral
classics to rock and roll at its finest. The band
has recorded with the late Tiny Tim, and were the
band Talking Head’s David Byrne chose for his
wedding reception. From festivals and fairs of
all varieties across the globe, rock clubs big and
small, colleges, roadhouses, dances, cultural
centers (including the annual Midsummer Night's
Swing at Lincoln Center in New York City) Brave
Combo has charmed countless listeners and won avid
devotees. The band has won two Grammy
Awards and been nominated for their work 7 times.
