Marco Toro Ensamble

Marco Toro brought his Ensamble to Club Mystique in March 2011, with musicians gathered from across Europe. They played to a full house. Percussionist and bandleader Marco Toro was born in Caracas, Venezuela. In 1992 he moved to Amsterdam with Laberinto, the band he had formed in 1989 and that became known for 'Metalatino', a mix of tight metal and Latin percussion. There he began to explore his South American roots. In 2004 he started his own project, Marco Toro y su Ensamble, with rhythms such as son, joropo and salsa. Its debut album, Rumbero Me Llama, came out that same year.
