Frankie Teardrop | Café Kitsuné Super-Series | Exclusive Mix

Ahead of their first London show since playing the main stage at We Out Here, this coming Friday at London’s Colour Factory, we are excited to share a special mix by TRC founder and NRO curator Lex Blondin celebrating the musical influences of London’s premier Latin jazz big band, New Regency Orchestra, featuring their brand new debut single,“Mambo Rama”.

Lex: “This mix is a bit of a tribute to Tito Puente , showcasing his compositions, intricate horn arrangements, and of course his amazing skills as a timbale player and soloist.  The lyrics in Eddie Palmieri's 'Bajo Con Tumbao' asks a very pertinent question whilst laying it all down:
 
I invite you to enjoy this tumbao bassline, rich and flavoursome
A rhythm flavored with cane, tobacco, honey and rum
I dedicate to the Caribbean soneros
This tumbao bass line
Who doesn't like this tumbao?
Who!?
But who doesn't like this tumbao?'
 
I'm also going all the way back to the originator of Mambo , the OG Arsenio Rodriguez with two of his deepest tracks. 'Chinito' and 'Esas No ' have such hip hop energy to me... These two are on the waiting list awaiting to get the NRO treatment. There's a few extravagant mambos with the don arranger Johnny Richards, all the way to 70's NYC salsa via Puerto Rico... That Orquesta Colon is so damn sophisticated and groovy that it might have to land in the NRO set too.. And a touch of mean cha cha's for good measure. In a nutshell the sound that I'm trying to pursue with the New Regency Orchestra.”
 
New Regency Orchestra play NE London’s Colour Factory on Friday 16 December, with support from DJs Desta, Bushbby, Alma de la Selva, Tim Garcia, Lex Blondin, and Cosmo Sofi.  Find the ticket link and full track list on the MIMS website, and more info below on NRO, direct from TRC / ¡COMO NO! 

Inspired by New York’s dynamic collision of jazz and Latin music from the 1950s to the 1970s, New Regency Orchestra grew from Lex Blondin’s “obsession” with record digging and the importance placed on creating community, two things at the heart of his work as founder of now studio/rehearsal space and former influential London live music venue, Total Refreshment Centre (TRC).

Having reconnected with percussionist Crispin Spry Robinson, at a session recorded at TRC in April 2021, Blondin and Robinson realised both shared the same dream of making an Afro-Cuban big band, fused with the sounds of contemporary London. They enrolled Cuban-Argentinian pianist/arranger Eliane Correa, and renowned arranger/composer & conductor Nathaniel Cross (SEED Ensemble, Zara McFarlane), to flesh out a high-energy, bustling setlist, brimming with Nuyorican basement club atmosphere. Seeking to pay homage to the sounds and Afro-Cuban musical saints of yesteryear but reinvent it through a 2021 London filter and present it to a new and engaged audience, New Regency Orchestra was born.

Featuring an eight-piece rhythm section and a storming twelve-piece horn section that includes trombonist Rosie Turton, saxophonist Tamar Osborn (Collocutor) & trumpeter Nick Walters (Ruby Rushton, Riot Jazz) alongside Latin music protagonists, Ernesto Marichales (timbales - Waaju, Yelfris Valdes, Ska Cubano), bongo player Flavio Correa, and bass player Frank Portuondo, New Regency Orchestra’s high-impact and dancefloor-inspired repertoire covers a uniquely fertile period between 1947-1979 for Afro-Caribbean big band experimentation.

With fresh arrangements on timeless classics written for each performance, and a lineup of London-based musicians raised on a steady diet of Coltrane, reggae/dub soundsystems & Pirate Radio, New Regency Orchestra breathe new life into decades-old music.

“We’re going to hit the refresh button every time. We’re going to come with new tunes, new edits, new soloists. Basically there are no limits. We want to surprise people and get creative. We might throw a grime MC right in the middle of it.” - Lex Blondin
