Do you know the Duke Ellington tune: “It don’t mean a thing if it ain’t got that swing”? So, how about “if it ain’t got that tumbao”? I hope you’ve got the idea now.    This album adds new ingredients to the mix of Venezuelan music, Cuban music, and jazz I’ve been doing for a number of years – for example, Changüí and Nengón, Cuban folkloric genres that both originated in the eastern part of the island. The first has a great rhythmic complexity, but a strong danceable spirit. The second could represent the clearest forerunner of Cuban Son. For me, Nengón also has personal significance since my father, musicologist Danilo Orozco, was the one who brought it to light for the very first time through his research in the early 80s, embodied in the album “Antología Integral del Son.” On the Venezuelan side, although I have previously recorded Joropos, this is the first time I have composed one, which besides the jazz influence, has the characteristic beat and refrain of the eastern Venezuelan Joropo. You will also hear a Venezuelan Merengue with a Cuban Montuno, a Funk style song adorned with Afro-Venezuelan drums, and a Cuban-flavored ballad, among other things. In the end, my goal is to transmit emotions through the music and show that there are absolutely “No limits for Tumbao” —César Orozco
