Album Notes:
1. EL RIO
Pedro Bullaudy
Vocalist- Earlee Salas

The title track, "The River", is about the journey that the river takes. Starting with a drop and ending in the ocean. To quote "we're all carried along by a river of dreams". This is a salsa written in a very melodic style with a great coro. "Agua que viene, agua que va" - water that comes, water that goes.


2. Romance
Pedro Bullaudy/Gato Guerra

What happens when when two people meet and they feel romance start to happen. They're not sure how each chapter will unfold. Will it be a short story or an epic? As for these two lovers; you'll find them written in to every line.

3. Las Mujeres
Sonia Celpa/Arrg: Victor Gamez

Women. Sirens. Each one a world unto themselves. Some are bad, some are good, some are a little of both.

4. Bejucal
Tita Mendez Arrg: Bebo Valdes

Actor Andy Garcia's hometown in Cuba. He can tell you all about their famous carnavals. The great musican and bandleader Bebo Valdes wrote the arrangement with that traditional Cuban sound in mind.

5. Retratos en mi Mente
Pedro Bullaudy/Gato Guerra

We all have a mind's eye that keeps a photo album that you can go to anytime.

6. EL Merengue Apura'o
Pedro Bullaudy

Time to pick up the pace. Play merengue and play it fast!

7. Vino y Pan

When that person that keeps you going goes away.

Orquesta INFINIDAD BIOS
A blending of traditional Cuban son with today's salsa music and jazzy arrangements begins to describe Orquesta INFINIDAD's sound. The leader and founder of this Tampa, FL based 11 pc. band, Cuban born trumpeter Pedro Bullaudy, named them "INFINIDAD" (Infinity) with the past and the future in mind. "Our sound is very much in the present, but we draw from the rich latin musical heritage of rhythms to move the band's music forward. We have the freedom to take it where we want"

Orquesta INFINIDAD performs within the framework of a multitude of styles that have been developed in places such as Cuba, Puerto Rico, the US, Spain, South and Central America. The band consists of a male and a female vocalist, keyboards, bass, three percussionists and a brass section of two trumpets, trombone and sax. They have performed at such venues as the Superbowl in Tampa, Clearwater's Jazz Holiday and Miami's Calle Ocho.

Their most recent release is a 9 song CD of original compositions entitled "EL RIO". It is music that will make you move. The insightful lyrics of the title song, EL RIO, are about a river that is moving and always changing. It starts with a drop and grows as it travels on it's journey to the ocean. There are also songs of love- "Romance", "Amor Prohibido", "Vino y Pan"; a Havana carnaval- "Bejucal" (hometown of actor Andy Garcia) and others such as "Las Mujeres" (Women), "Retratos en mi Mente" (Pictures in my mind) and "El Merengue Apura'o" (Merengue in a hurry). The styles include Salsa, Merengue and Bachata.

Their sound is a cup of luxurious coffe, rich and authentic.
