About the Artist
Ashanti’s beginnings date back to 1983 when Berklee College of Music students from Mexico, Switzerland, Chile, Japan, and Connecticut launched a new musical project. Their Latin jazz combo, dubbed Ashanti to recognize the African roots of the music they loved to play, performed regularly at a variety of Boston-area clubs and concert venues, and even appeared on the local CBS and NBC affiliates. In 1984, Ashanti relocated to Cancun and enjoyed steady work in the city’s finest hotels and clubs for eight years. The group was resurrected in 1995 when the Mayor of Merida, Yucatan, Mexico invited the Ashanti to perform a celebration concert in honor of the historic city’s 453rd anniversary. In 1996 and shortly after being named Director of Jazz Studies at Central College in Iowa, founding member Gabriel Espinosa introduced a handful of local "gringo" R&B and jazz players to the sensuous Latin music he knew so well. Since then, the latest incarnation of Ashanti has earned high visibility and an impressive following among the Midwest’s ever-expanding community of Latin jazz aficionados.
Product Description
"Dyos Bo'otik" means "thank you" in the Mayan language, and this CD is just that for Ashanti, a Latin jazz group based in the heart of the American Midwest. The group's leader, Gabriel Espinosa, transported his musical roots from Merida, Mexico on the Yucatan Peninsula to Iowa eight years ago. Since then, and because of its trademark vocal tradition, Ashanti has become one of the Midwest's most-appreciated Latin jazz combos. This CD is a musical "gracias" to family, friends, and fans.
