Flamingosis Got Gen-Z Joint Jumping with Live Latin Big Band Jazz-Funk

 By Laura Medina 



Ironically the same time the Conga Room was closing, a 
Nuyorican (a New York Puerto Rican) Gen-Zers Latin Jazz-Funk band, with a band leader/DJ, is rising up, getting Gen-Zers all ecstatic about live Latin Jazz-Funk, blasting big, bold, and loud by their Gen-Z peers.

Flamingosis is bringing back their Baby Boomer grandparents’ ‘70’s Latin Funk-Jazz-Disco, boldly flavored by a real-live trombonist and trumpeter blasting beats, overwhelming an ecstatic thumping happy, jump-jiving crowd.  Obviously, this was the first this canned music generation ever saw, heard, and feel the physical live 
vibrations of beats. But, they’re beats from a trumpet and
a trombone.

Yes, Flamingosis’ saxophonist warmed up the crowd with DJing, spinning tunes.

But the audience went crazy when the full band came out.
This when DJ became the saxophonist. One of the keyboardist is the guitarist. Of course, the audience went nuts when the trombonist and the trumpeter started blasting beats.

The Gen-Zers got twirling and spinning in feverish whirls, spinning to the live blasts of live Latin Jazz-Funk. This was their first time. Something their Baby Boomer grandparents took for granted way in the Disco Seventies.

See, grandma and grandpa knew how to get down with funk and the jazzy beats.

Flamingosis brings back the jive with the vibe.
