SCHEDULE 

Day 3: Virtual Summit Cocktail Party

9.00 - 9.30 pm

Central European Time

Joined by a deep love and passion for music, Calé possesses the magic to blend Rumba and Flamenco with Latin and Pop Rock rhythms. 

Cale creates an intimate relationship with their audience, connecting almost immediately with deep, guarded places in the soul. The origin of their Latin-fusion music, shaped and re-shaped through generations, is from Spanish-Arabic, North African and Romany regions. Over time, it blended with flamenco and rumba styling picked up along the way by the gypsy people who are their namesake.

The synergy of founding members Jose Prieto, Victor Torres and Paul Blazek has created a magic rarely seen in today's landscape of new artists. A university tour in 2004 whet their appetite for sharing their music nation-wide. They have entertained from Hawaii to New York or  Beirut.

Their first CD is “Vente Conmigo” which captures a broad range of human experience, from the brazen, raw emotion of Quiero to the seductive reverie of Dos Años Atras.

Their second CD, called “Noches de Mala Vida,” is a mixture of fresh Latin and Flamenco rhythms with pop/rock/funk and electronic elements creating a wide musical menu, ranging from “chill-out” instrumental songs to contagiously dancing rumba songs like “Noches de Mala Vida” or traditional tangos/flamencos and Latin/Pop songs like “Mujer Cruel”.
