BIOGRAPHY
Spanish band based in Madrid, formed by Ernesto Sánchez, Sergio Zamarvide and Fernando Parrilla.
HISTORY
Madrid’s exciting funk trio Telephunken is making a US tour around its official SWSW 2010 Showcase appearance. The tour begins on March 7th at Bossa in Washington, DC.
Combining animated elements of funk, fusion, Latin, jazz, raggamuffin, with a breakbeat background, Telephunken are a band with a long career. Performing a live show with a complete band, and currently presenting their fourth studio album “Que viva el ritmo!!” (Actúa Recordings 2009).
They have toured countries like England, France and Mexico. Ernesto performs with other musicians like Fernando Parrilla (drums) and Sergio Zamarvide (Bass and VJ), with the intention of overcoming the staging somewhat unchanging number of DJ’s, providing direct their dynamism.
"Qué viva el ritmo!!! está lleno de funk, soul, scratches, electrónica y todo ello remezclado de manera soberbia. Ataviados con la nueva tecnología, Telephunken vuelven a demostrar lo mejor que saben hacer: seleccionar lo mejor de la música de ahora para juntarlo con lo más clásico de hace más de tres décadas. La banda está formada por Ernesto (Dj Samplers), Raúl (guitarra), Alicia (teclado), Sergio (bajo) y Parri (batería)"
