In exceedingly high demand as a cutting edge
trombonist as well as an internationally-renown
composer, orchestrator, producer and “arranger of
the first-class” (Harvey Siders, JazzTimes), Doug
Beavers brings these talents to bear on his new
“salsa music juggernaut”, (Jim Harrington, ANG
Newspapers, The Concert Blog) Doug Beavers y
su Conjunto Rovira.

Doug Beavers y su Conjunto Rovira carries the
Afro-Cuban, Afro-Carribean and “Nuyorican”
traditions by performing a gritty, swinging variety
of salsa that is at once spontaneous and tightly
executed, always leaving room for improvised and
heart-pounding moñas (riffs) that drive audiences
out of their seats. Their brand of energetic salsa is
woven together in the fabric of Doug Beavers’
lushly arranged and orchestrated compositions
and arrangements.

The tightly-knit conjunto (ensemble) features top
international talent; flautist John Calloway
(Conjunto Libre), trumpet phenom Mike Olmos
(Etta James), Marco Diaz and Saul Sierra on piano
and bass, respectively (John Santos), timbalero
Eric Rangel (Conjunto Cespedes), congeros Karl
Perazo (Santana) and Sean Zuniga (La Verdad),
with featured vocalist Carlos Rosario (Chino
Nuñez). Doug Beavers, an Eddie Palmieri La
Perfecta II alumnus and Grammy® winner for his
work on Palmieri’s 2006 release Listen Here,
handles the work of steering the conjunto’s trail
blazing arrangements and compositions.
