In this ambitious and highly anticipated project, Kekoski has set out to reconcile memories and visions of Latin America, with modern Australian realism through spirited and infectious music. Orulas are out to cement themselves amongst Australia’s best Latin musical acts, also as one that epitomises world class quality, by bringing to life what it means to be Latin Australian, and to share with the rest of the world the diversity of the Australian music industry. SAMPLE OUR MUSIC 1. Orulas-Alas-Negras-20sec.mp3 Listen Orulas’ songs are based on the musicians’ experiences as migrants growing up in Australia, within the larger than life backdrop of their Latin American heritage. As Kekoski blends these two unique experiences together, his musical and lyrical compositions are an honest representation of one’s transformation from the Latin American to the Latin Australian social identity. In addition to the originality of their compositions, a large part of Orulas’ musical portfolio has been co-worked and developed with fellow musician/composer Oscar Poncel – a solid partnership formed during the years of the highly acclaimed and successful, San Lazaro. This partnership has now been further enhanced by the solid commitment and arrival of fresh creative blood in the form of, bassist and vocalist, Elizabeth Obando and pianist & arranger, Johnathan Cohen With the added creative foresight and expertise of legendary guitarist, Nash Lee; trumpeter, Paddy McMullin; trombonist, Percy James and percussionist Guillermo 'Willy' Viran & Rodolfo Etcheverria 'El Panga'; Orulas’ outstanding line up is complete. With some of the country’s best Latin jazz musicians on board, Orulas is sure to propel the Latin sound to unprecedented limits and drive Orulas to the forefront of the industry! Orulas has just finished recording their debut album ‘Alas Negras”, which has been produced by Franshesco Viran; recorded by Adam Rhodes (The Cat Empire) & Mastered by Ross Cock Cockle at Sing Sing Studios.
