Vocal Sampling, nominated for 3 Grammy awards for their album "Cambio de Tiempo", is a band where the instruments are sung instead of played. Not only the lead vocal and the background choruses, but all the instruments of the Latin orchestra - percussion, homs, keyboards, bass, and all the other instruments are vocally reproduced. There is no technical trickery and no other instruments.
Vocal Sampling is comprised of six young Cuban men in their twenties, all accomplished instrumentalists and arrangers, who met at music school. What began as an amusing after-school game has become their full-time career. For those new to Latin music, Vocal Sampling is a highly entertaining introduction to the rhythms and styles of Cuban music - guaracha, boleros, rumba, son and swinging saisa. For those familiar with this genre, the group always brings amazement and a smile of delight.
Similar to the doo-wop groups of New York city, Vocal Sampling was formed after school and between classes, standing on the sweeping lawns of Havana's National Superior Institute of Arts. Poney GROSS, of Belgium's ZIG ZAG WORLD, met the group in Cuba while they were still students, and encouraged them to continue this approach. He arranged several European tours for them.
Very soon they began to be noticed by artists such as Bobby Mc FERRIN, Peter GABRIEL and David BYRNE. Gabriel brought them to his Real World Studios in Bath, England, where they recorded two songs and Byrne included one of their earliest recordings on his Lukua Bop compilation, Diablo Al lnfiemo.
In 1992 the group met producer team Sammy FIGUEROA and Rachel FARO. who arranged for them to be signed to Paroli/BMG Music of Kdln, Germany. Faro Figueroa Productions produced the group's first album, which attracted the notice of Sire Record's president Seymour STEIN, who immediately began steps to acquire the master. The first album, "Una Forma Mas", released in 1995 on Sire/Elektra Records and Warner world wide, was a musical journey through Cuban musical culture, demonstrating several styles of classic Cuban music.
In 1995 the group made an historic tour of the United States where they were an instant success in San Francisco, New York and Puerto Rico, attracting the attention of luminaries such as Paul SIMON and Carlos SANTANA. Since then, they have continued to tour throughout Europe and Latin America, invariably gamedng multiple encores and rapturous receptions.
