Growing up in the New York City area Felipe Borrero was accustomed to hearing Jazz music from radio stations as well as Salsa music from his Puerto Rican neighborhood in Brooklyn. As a young boy, he watched the holiday parades in New York City and was drawn to the trumpets and trombones proclaiming their presence, hearing them echo off the walls of the buildings. He thought then on what an ideal sound and declaration of holiday and celebration. Felipe was then introduced to Jazz, Latin Jazz, Cha Cha’s, Bolero’s and Salsa – a powerful spiritual and musical awakening for him. Sharing the stage with such notables as guitar legend Carlos Santana, Los Van Van, Cubanisimo, Trombone Shorty, and the Dirty Dozen Brass Band added to his great journey and dream come true. He has worked in Austin, TX, the Music Capital of the World with several popular ensembles: The Brew, Kiko y La Banda, Rey Arteaga w/Son y No Son, and Mambo Blue. He is also founder/manager/player with the following projects: Big Band Tejano, Trio 2 to 1, Salsa Amistad, Trio4mas and Tiburon.
Felipe is a two–time Latin Grammy award winner along with 5 additional nominations. He was also honored and awarded entry into the Idolos del Barrio Music Hall of Fame in Austin, TX in 2012. There over 200 recordings to his credit of which he’s played trumpet,
flugelhorn, trombone, hand percussion and background vocals. You can find Felipe performing with duo’s, trio’s and up to a 12 piece band. Genre’s represented are Jazz and Jazz Ballads, Salsa, Merengue, Latin Jazz, Brazilian, and Colombian.
Tiburon at its core is Interpreting multiple genres of Latin music, blending the styles and rhythms of Afro–Cuban and Puerto Rican roots music with the excitement and improvisation of American Jazz. This fresh approach to musical arrangements allows for a wide dynamic range while providing the depth of sound to perform a plethora of styles in a traditional yet improvisational format. By combining the hot sounds of salsa, rumba, mambo, bolero, cha–cha, funk, and jazz, Felipe always presents fresh elements and new musical perspectives with a distinct energy all its own.
