Meridiano 90

The late 1980's saw the birth of many bands within the Latin American community of Sydney Australia. Amongst one of the most successful was Meridiano 90, whose first incarnation fused many aspects of cultural andean music and gypsy flamenco. The second generation of Meridiano 90 developed into the typical salsa/cumbia bands of the region

The band was originally conceived by two musicians from the western suburbs of Sydney:- Aldo Alexis Angulo and Tito Hector Pinto. Both muscians were responsible for the main artistic elements of the band including a remake of a famous song by Los Jaivas- "Todos Juntos".
