Settled back in Paris, TAMAYO is currently preparing a new EP album, which will feature arrangements by Grammy-winner Doug Beavers of Tamayo’s own compositions including a cross-over song featuring Colombian hip hop artist, Rocca, from the popular Colombian group, Tres Coronas. These compositions will be recorded in Paris.
Tamayo will also pay tribute to Charlie Palmieri and the Descarga-style of 1960’s Latin music that Charlie pioneered, which ultimately led to the Salsa explosion of the 70s. Tamayo will cross the Atlantic Ocean to record this song with the NYC-based Uprising All Stars; a band led by Jimmy Bosch and made up of musicians hand-picked by 10x Grammy winner, Eddie Palmieri, such as Little Johnny Rivero, Doug Beavers, Luques Curtis, Louis Fouche, Camilo Molina and Jonathan Powell.
