: BIOGRAPHY
Impossible to resist! The Cuban Timba band Choco y sus Cómplices was founded in 2016 by Eric Durrer, widely recognized as one of the greatest conga players in Europe.
The group of musicians he directs consists of outstanding stars of the current Latin-European scenario. The eighteen-member band is based on the traditional line-up of Charanga orchestras (violin, cello and flute), but completed by four talented singers and a full horn section with drums to create a band that will blow your senses.
Eric, commonly known as “Choco”, because of his former band Eric y su Chocolate, has been establishing himself as a renowned composer. Over the past years he has enriched many of the musical productions in Europe. He is considered one of the most versatile Latin musicians, who has managed to make of his music a fascinating rhythmic and melodic fusion of Charanga, Salsa, Jazz, Funk, Afro-Cuban and Brazilian styles.
