Shindig! is about the music. That sweet sweet 50’s and 60s R&B music that just makes you throw your hands up and dance! Which is why we choose to play it all from original 7″ 45 rpm records and why we are holding this party the DAY BEFORE NEW YEARS EVE! It’s also why everyone loves this party so much! Especially the Ladies. Our Facebook page statistics prove it! 58% Female and 41% Male and 1% ..um… maybe transgender? Not sure. Don’t care. Shindig! doesn’t judge. We just offer the very best musical selections from the late 50s and early 60s all on 7″ 45 RPM vinyl records and one HELL of a GOOD TIME!

Get there early or you won’t get in!

Happy Holidays to you and yours tis the season ya? Its either Merry or Dreary times. Some people love the holiday season because its a chance to express how much you love those around you others hate it because you can never find the right thing to get that special someone. I hear both sides it ain’t the easiest time of year but it most certainly is a time to drink, be merry and party.

There ain‘t no party like a Babalao party…
…’cause the Babalao party don’t stop!

Toronto’s Babalao Stereo Club are quickly making a serious name for themselves in the city’s Latin‐Funk music scene with their high‐energy grooves and sultry sound. Thursday, September 15th marks the debut of their long‐awaited first full‐length CD, The Latin Bang Theory, at Toronto’s historic Gladstone Hotel. Special guests for the evening will include Toronto’s percussion posse Samba Squad, award‐winning Venezuelan guitarist Pinguino and DJ Double K from Parkdale Funk.

Formed in 2006, Babalao Stereo Club is an impressive Latin‐Funk group consisting of five highly skilled and extremely talented musicians – Samba Squad co‐director and front man, percussionist David Figliano, guitarist Manuel Rivas, bassist Jamie Sanchez, pianist Adam Silver and drummer Luis Bertolotti. Citing influences that include Los Amigos Invisibles, Carlos Santana and Los Tetas, this innovative five piece band blends spicy Latin elements such as Salsa, Merengue and Mambo with North American Funk, House, Afrobeat and contemporary dance rhythms.

Babalao Stereo Club enjoyed a successful EP release in 2008 as well as a series of high‐profile gigs such as opening for Femi Abosede and Grammy Award winning Latin sensation Alex Cuba. They have also been featured on various popular radio programs including CIUT’s Dos Mundos with Sergio Elmir, Jason Palma’s Higher Ground and BBC Radio’s The Craig Charles Funk and Soul Show.

With Babalao Stereo Club you’re always guaranteed an exceptionally good time. They never fail to get the crowd pumped and energized with their tight, infectious grooves and intoxicating sound. The Latin Bang Theory lives up to their reputation, launching an arsenal of hot original tracks and ingenious fresh new mixes. This fierce and funky quintet is a never‐ending dance party delivering a unique and distinctive heart thumping experience.

“There is no mistaking their musical message from the way they instantly engage the crowd, urging them closer to the stage and sharing pure energy. Babalao Stereo Club have a great mix of songs and samples and it’s a bonus too that they all carry strong vocals to support the power of the instrumentation.”
Eryn Vogn – Link Promotions
