Paté de Fuá was founded in Mexico by the well known musicians Yayo Gonzalez and Guillermo Perata. Paté de Fuá grew out of the motivation and need to make a concrete proposal which combines different musical influences, thus developing a musical posture that makes their approach rather unique.
With an uncommon instrumental variety (accordion, bandoneon, cavaquinho, banjo, cornet, alto horn, guitar, vibraphone, marimba, contrabass, drums and voice), Paté de Fuá is an unconventional proposal offering extreme change because the musicians play more than one instrument.
Giving priority to the personal concept of their interpretation, making original compositions and arrangements, and keeping careful selection of the repertoire, Paté de Fuá has become one of the most distinguished groups within the Mexican musical scene.
The original compositions are from Guillermo Perata and Yayo Gonzalez. These compositions have a strong influence from old musical styles, which are widely enriched with the talent of the musicians of the band.
The repertoire includes dixieland jazz, mussete waltz, fox-trot, tango, tarantella, paso doble, and distinctive elements of the traditional world music, explored and composed by these outstanding musicians; with their creativity they offer us a rather unique style that leads to a modern attitude that has not been previously known.
The nature of the band is mainly acoustic, warm, and enormously versatile. They have great artistic, creative, and interpretative backgrounds.
