A "Chronicle" is a factual written account of important or historical events in the order of their occurrence. I couldn't think of anything more appropriate to name my Timba blog as I live, eat, sleep Timba 24/7, every second of the day. If I didn't know it was a physical impossibility to have your heart beat at the rhythm of a clave and have your breathing diffuse at the command of a Manolin, Charanga, or Michel Maza coro, I would believe my body was literally doing exactly that.

Timba is the Cuban counterpart of salsa music, and is often understood to be a sub-category of salsa. However, the historical development of timba has been quite independent of the development of salsa in the United States and Puerto Rico and the music has its own trademark aspects.

Pedrito Vargas y su Grupo Ashe is the first latin band to bring the true sabor of timba to the pacific northwest. Formed in 2008, the group is made up of some of Seattle's most prominent latin and jazz musicians. Grupo Ashe is unlike any other latin band currently touring in the Pacific Northwest. The group's unique mix of cuban rhythm, salsa beats and funk sensibility creates an infectious high energy atmosphere that is sure to lift everyone off their seats to move to the music. Grupo Ashe's specialty is timba, a contemporary cuban music style that combines the elements of traditional cuban music, salsa, funk, jazz, rock and hip hop.
