Hailing
from the sultry savannas of Colombia and the warm beaches of Panama,
Tropicante's lead singers, Karin Stein and Ed East, will keep
you
energized for hours with the sound of popular Latin beats.
You'll
be swinging and clapping to the Colombian "cumbia," the Dominican
"merengue," the Venezuelan "tambor," the Brazilian "samba,"
and
more. The ensemble's lively concerts are sprinkled with first-rate
musicianship, anecdotes, and humor. Tropicante is a
perfect
act for Hispanic Heritage Month or any diversity event.
Lead
singer and percussionist, Ed East, is Panamanian. His upbringing in
Panama City meant noise, hustle, bustle, and those chaotic smells and
sights so characteristic of any metropolis. Karin Stein, his Colombian
partner, brings to the music of Tropicante the perspective of her
upbringing in rural Colombia.
Tropicante
is a 4-musician ensemble which has traveled nation-wide and
internationally, bringing smiles to thousands with its contagious,
upbeat music.
In addition to its
concerts, Tropicante offers a large range of educational programs.
