Caramelo Releases RIDE, 5/29

Caramelo is a crew of top musicians and flamenco dancers with a shared love of soulful R&B, alt rock, and hot Latin grooves. On their debut Ride, dropping May 29, 2012, Sara Erde and flamenco singer Alfonso Cid ("La Luna") grace the band's urbane hooks, unexpected instruments, and ear-candy songwriting.

Caramelo revels in a New-World sound and vision for old-school duende, the spirit of expression and energy that drives flamenco at its best. This streets-meets-Sevilla soul will fill Drom on June 2, 2012, as the band celebrates Ride, thanks to special guests from Antibalas, Chicha Libre, and Gregorio Uribe Big Band -and to the band's funky corps of lithe, vibrant dancers.

Tickets for the release concert are $10 adv./$15 door, and doors open at 6:30 pm with shows at 7:30 pm & 9:30 pm
