Artist Bio: 

Multi-insrumentalist, studio whiz, producer, sideman extraordinaire and musical visionary Michael Ramos presents the first album from Charanga Cakewalk: Loteria del la Cumbia Lounge. The album was produced and recorded at Ramos' Cumbia Lounge — both a real and virtual studio.

Loteria del la Cumbia Lounge is a pan-Latin American martini: equal parts traditional instruments (Spanish classical guitar, accordion, horns and more) and deep, urban grooves with a dash of Esquivel and a measure of Morricone. Charanga Cakewalk's unique approach to Mexican, Latin American and world music styling follows the road laid by such contemporaries as Sidestepper, Latin Playboys, Mano Chao and Material. The result is one of sheer movement and joy. At once sensual and exotic, it delivers music of the soul for the soul. —Courtesy Calabash Music
