No, that's not the name of rock singer extraordinaire Leiana's newest CD, but it could be - with no apologies to 50 Cent, who could learn a few things about lyrics, power and pain from this lady. This will come as a shock to those who think that someone blond and beautiful has it made and that a brother from the ghetto who got all shot up has a corner on the harshness of low level life and survival, a/k/a "keepin' it real."
We are the only authentic charanga in Los Angeles. Our music
is scored for flute, piano, bass, congas, timbale, guiro, vocals, 2 violins,
viola and cello, just as a traditional charanga in Cuba would have.

[Jonny Enright]Grupo X came into being in 1996. Initially the band was formed as a small version of legendary London salsa band La Clave (check out "Salsa Feeling" - Jimmy L M & La Clave De Londres, International Records 2002), to do corporate functions and weddings, etc. Then I started to take it more seriously and began to write for the band. Before long, we had begun to establish our own sound.
