House of Rhumba
 
New York City loves rhythm.  It is fitting, then, that a spontaneous meeting on her beaches birthed the vibrant sounds of House of Rhumba.  The three-man, Afro-Caribbean percussion ensemble fuses a deep soul sensibility with traditional Afro-Latin rhythms such as rumba, bomba, and plena to create a unique and dynamic sound which has invigorated dance music since its birth.  Founded in New York City in 2000 by house music DJ “Papo Swing” (née Norberto Alicea) with percussionists Nicholas “Niko” Laboy and Obanilu Ire Allende Solana, House of Rhumba has distinguished itself as an innovative voice within the dance music scene, fusing a street rumba style with supple soul and electrifying beats.  This versatility has earned House of Rhumba a central place among dance music aficionados and secured appearances on numerous dance hits, including: “Steel Congo” and “Summer Night in Spanish Harlem” tracks with Grammy winning DJ Louie Vega (released on Vega’s solo album “Elements of Life”); “Irinajo” with Soul Channel Music (Mr. V and Alix Alvarez); and "Confession" with Malena Perez, among others.
 
Papo Swing
Papo Swing is a staple percussionist among highly regarded house DJs and performance groups, such as Cirque de Soleil, Louie Vega, Masters at Work (MAW), John Cutler, Soul Channel Music (Mr. V), Soul Creation, Alix Alvarez, Dennis Ferrer, Funk La Planet, and Alain Vinet, among others.  He has performed at Club Cielo, Club Deep, Club Shelter, Ageha (Japan) and Club Show in NYC, as well as other internationally recognized dance clubs around the world. Inspired by famous conga players like Giovanni Hidalgo, Mongo Santa Maria, Carlos Patato Valdez, Kevin Jones, Pedro Martinez from Yerba Buena (Fun Machine), and Luisito Quintero whom he counts among his teachers.  Papo Swing’s love for hard-hitting rhythm inspires his improvised conga beats and innovative technique within the Afro-Caribbean, Afro-Cuban, Rumba and ‘bomba and plena’ genres, making him a leading musician among his dance music peers and fans alike.
 
Niko Laboy
Niko is a current member of several notable Afro-Caribbean popular and sacred performance ensembles, including Puerto Rican roots band, Yerbabuena. Niko is also a founding member of Ilu- Aye, an Afro-Caribbean music collective dedicated to preserving the rich African musical influences in the Spanish-speaking Caribbean. Among his many noted contributions to these ensembles, is his superb ability to arrange and direct the groups, adding his own innovative touches and musical flavor. His talents have placed him among the most sought after young percussionists and stimulated the interest of numerous bands in including him in their recording projects. Among several bands and artists that he has collaborated with are: Latin Sensation directed by Jose Mangual Jr.; the internationally acclaimed dance music producer and DJ, Louie Vega (M.A.W Inc.) for whom he recorded the highly praised percussion on "Steel Congo"; Lou Gorbea; Ashe Productions; and Yerbabuena, on whose debut album he appears.
 

We are in the magic 80s, a small room, a few colored lights, a strobe, teenagers clutched together dancing a slow dance.
Outside the room, in the parking lot, motorbikes stacking up, fast legs wanting to get in ... there's a dance song on now, the party is increasingly animating. Roman, at the console, juggles between a stereo consisting of a turntable and two tape players, occasionally he flicks the lights on and off, the athmosphere is increasingly ... hot ... and there the passion for mixing was born.

1989 Dj Roman leaves the room, his vinyl is touched by the pin of MK2 of the Maxim Bodio’s disco where he becomes resident DJ. 
Four years later he moves to Lausanne, his sound is at the Scotch Club. 

1997 new city, Fribourg: Dj Roman plays Cribblet, Vertigo and Absolut, and it is here that he experiments, observing and working with DJs such as Danny Buddah Morales, C.J.Machintosh, Benji Candelario, Michi Lange, Boris Dlugosch and others.
Ticino calls, disco Lago Club Ascona wants him as resident DJ and, at the same time, he starts his radio program "Club Dimension" on Radio Studio Star. 

Y2k, the year of the bug and, with the Nexxt Groove Movement, he leaves for Zurich'. The first wagon from Ticino taking part in the Street Parade, offers house music with DJ Roman, Marty Dee, Nick Nash and the great Danny Buddah Morales.
There Roman decides to go from the street to on the road and leaves for a trip. He and his records around the world. During this trip he plays in Bangkok and Ko Pha-ngan (Thailand), Tokyo (Japan) and Tashkent (Uzbekistan). 

Contaminations and experiences enrich Roman's vinyl who, after having elaborated the various sounds met while travelling, comes back to multicultural Switzerland and begins ... with his Sound.
