After a summer filled with dance hits that got launched two-per-minute, MediaPro Music surprised good music lovers with a special launch – the first Bosquito album.
This first appearance will surely give some trouble to the current top-of-the-line bands for the music is good and the style is very original. They also play a kind of music that is less found in Romania – Latino-rock.
The band from Brasov has a few songs that sound a bit like the music of Carlos Santana. The audience is forgiving because they make up in style.
Bosquito got started this spring; the name of the band means, in Spanish, young orchard. The group is made of Radu Almasan, Victor Solomon, Victor Stephanovici, Mihai Constantinescu and Darius Neagu. They had their first concert in Brasov, on September 1, in the Pro Club.
The record, published by Media Pro Music, includes 10 songs. Among them we find the hit “Pas cu pas” (Step by step). The Latino-rock style has some Balkan influences and it suits the way they sing.
At the moment, Bosquito is the only Latino-rock Romanian band. The themes they use are diverse – love( (“?igano”, “Imitatie de dragoste), social (“Second hand”, “aeful”) and some that depend on the moment (“Bosquito”, “Gata”).
Radu Almasan, the one who started the group, arguments the need for such a band by the lack of Latino-rock music on the current Romanian market. “Even though concert organisers prefer play-back for commercial reasons, we want to sing live when and where it is possible.
There is the possibility that the sound may come out worse than pre-recorded but nothing is as good as a live song. This way you can convey your message to the audience,” Radu Almasan maintains.
