TranceUntes

Bio: The band TranceUntes (TU) was formed in 2010 by a chance meeting between unconventional musicians. The first members, Laguna, Mito, and Salorio, were engaged in intense professional activity that led them to Africa numerous times; Laguna as an Afro Flamenco Festival producer, and Salorio and Mito during intense years of touring and recording with the percussion band Livika. Later on, Castiñeiras and Leal joined in, having been part of other musical adventures like Bereberia.

Initially, the band had a vocalist, Boa, and some songs and videos were produced. Boa soon left the group and went to Ibiza. The band was now ready for a new approach. Making non-conventional music was what they had in mind from the beginning. Their many experiences with unusual instruments, originating from different parts of the world, partly defined the approach. Universal music with a rhythm that everyone understands. They want to defy DJs as dance gurus. TU is not an electronic or ethnic band, but the hypnotic sounds and textures hook people from the beginning and make them dance. The combination of the Didgeridoo (Australia), the harmonium (India), the djembe (Africa), the Timbila (Mozambique), or midi guitar result in very rich dance music with acoustic instruments, which intoxicates the senses and forces you to enjoy concerts from the first note. In 2012, after numerous concerts in Spain, they began a tour of South Africa and Mozambique. They performed in Johannesburg, Cape Town, and different towns. In 2013, after two years of touring and rehearsals, they decided it was time for a recording. 'Playing' is their first album, produced by Juni Ramone, a regular contributor to Carlos Jean.
