Members include (from left) Daniel Sananikone, Joseph Nakamoto, Eddie Ortiz, Cynthia Romero, Jeremy Killeen, Daniel Weber, Clayton \u201cCJ\u201d Silva, Guy Lum and Reid Ishikawa.<br \/><\/p><\/div>\n<p>These days, the fun includes the band\u2019s forthcoming CD, which is currently in production and will feature 10 originals when it\u2019s released later this year. In addition, the group\u2019s cover of <em>Si Te Vas<\/em> has made its way to No. 4 on the NewGenSalsa International Top 50 Charts \u2014 a smoking-hot indication that the band\u2019s steamy Latin sounds continue to strike a chord with listeners around the globe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLatin music is performed in a variety of languages, but the rhythms are what carries the name of Latin music,\u201d explains Ortiz, whose band has performed at just about every major Latin music event in Hawai\u2018i over the years and has opened for music luminaries such as Celia Cruz and Poncho Sanchez. \u201cThe primary rhythms we play are salsa, meringue, bachata and mambo.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>So, just how did this band with island roots come to be? Ortiz explains that he used to play in another group while stationed here as a U.S. Marine. When his military career ended, his desire was to continue living in the Aloha State, but the lack of what he calls \u201cauthentic Caribbean music\u201d in Hawai\u2018i bothered him. He took it upon himself to fill that music void by creating Eddie Ortiz and Son Caribe in 2000.<\/p>\n<p>Son Caribe means \u201crhythm of the Caribbean\u201d in Spanish, Ortiz notes, and is a nod to the type of music (contemporary, top 40 and jazz) that the band creates. Its goal is to make people feel good and to engage with all audiences. He adds that his goal as a songwriter is to compose songs about people who are in love.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur hope is that when people leave our performances, they feel better than when they came,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Ortiz, the band boasts members of various ages ranging from their 20s to their 50s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s a good mix because you\u2019ve got a lot of experience with the older musicians, and you\u2019ve got a lot of energy and vigor from the younger musicians,\u201d he explains.<\/p>\n<p>The current group consists of Cynthia Romero, featured vocalist and auxiliary percussion; Clayton \u201cCJ\u201d Silva, congas; Guy Lum, timbales; Joseph Nakamoto, Jeremy Killeen and Josue Rodriguez, trombones; Daniel Sananikone, trumpet; Hitomi Davis, piano\/keyboard; Reid Ishikawa, bass; Shaun Torres, bongos and auxiliary percussion; Daniel Weber, guitar; Ray Lafoon, drums; and Luis Santos, vocalist and auxiliary percussion.<\/p>\n<p>The band has employed around 500 musicians over the years, but Ortiz says that prospective members don\u2019t need to be experienced in Latin music to be a part of the band.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs long as they\u2019re willing to learn and listen so that I can teach them \u2014 I\u2019m good,\u201d he explains. \u201cIt\u2019s been fun because I enjoy teaching. It\u2019s fun to bring somebody along and watch them develop skills in a different genre of music that they didn\u2019t have before.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When the band first stepped out on the scene, the members had a hard time getting booked at venues. The band was told that Latin music was \u201ca niche market\u201d and that \u201cit\u2019s not really marketable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat was one of the biggest obstacles \u2014 just getting our foot in the door,\u201d Ortiz recalls. \u201cIt was very difficult in the beginning until we proved ourselves that we could not only draw an audience, but maintain an audience, and thankfully, continue to grow audiences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the challenges the band has faced, Ortiz believes all the hard work has paid off. From initially struggling to book appearances to performing internationally, the group has come a long way.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were able to establish ourselves in Asia from Hawai\u2018i, and now we\u2019re starting to get attention from Latin America, which is something that I\u2019ve always wanted to be able to do,\u201d Ortiz beams.<\/p>\n<p>Whether it be with tourists who remember the band from a previous trip to Hawai\u2018i, or with college students looking to dance the night away, the band has maintained a strong following. In fact, fans eagerly await the band\u2019s return to performing live at Ilikai Hotel &#038; Luxury Suites\u2019 courtyard \u2014 that is, once the finishing touches are put on the album.<\/p>\n<p>Ortiz says that \u201cevery guest is important\u201d and that the band will always strive to put its best foot forward at each performance because the members know they wouldn\u2019t be where they are today if it weren\u2019t for the community.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so grateful to the people in Hawai\u2018i for the way they received us,\u201d Ortiz says. \u201cIt\u2019s something that I would\u2019ve never imagined before I started the band. It\u2019s been such a blessing, really.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The beat goes on for the musical outfit Eddie Ortiz and Son Caribe, which has been filling the islands with..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":1595,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cover-story"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
