In the neon jungle of South Florida's nightlife, where dusky bars and
moonlit beaches intertwine, Suenalo has the natives dancing. Afro-Cuban,
Latin, R&B, rock and hip-hop fuse effortlessly, the sounds of distant
continents coming into their own distinctive, premium blend. The soundtrack
of the melting-pot culture that is Miami.
Created in 2002 in the vibrant neighborhood of Little Havana, Suenalo has
won legions of loyal fans and Best Local Latin Rock Band honors from the
Miami New Times. Suenalo has performed at important festivals such as the
Latin Funk Festival in Miami and New York, Carnival on the Mile, Fete de la
Musique, Calle Ocho, Hollywood Festival of Arts, Ashefest (North Carolina),
Wahoo, and Langerado (headlined by Ben Harper, the Black Crowes, the Flaming
Lips and Wilco). In addition, they've shared the stage with Afrobeat
heavyweights Antibalas, Latin-Grammy winners Bacilos, and Latin-Grammy
nominees Bossacucanova and Locos Por Juana.
Suenalo keeps a busy schedule performing at the premier venues in South
Florida, including Jazid, Transit Lounge, Tobacco Road, and Circa 28 in
Miami, the Bamboo Room in Lake Worth, and City Limits in Delray. A summer
2007 Florida tour took Suenalo to venues such as Common Grounds and The Side
Bar in Gainesville, The Social in Orlando, the Underground in Tampa,
Beachside Tavern in New Smyrna Beach, and Twisted Sisters in Jacksonville
Beach. Suenalo received great accolades at Ashefest, a 3-day festival
extravaganza held in North Carolina, sharing the stage with jam-band-scene
greats Particle and New Monsoon.
Suenalo has released one live album, 2004's Collages, and one studio album,
self-titled Suenalo, released in 2006 to great acclaim. The band is planning
to release a new studio album early 2009.
