They describe it as music that makes people want to get up and love each other.
Aaron Nazrul and the Boom Booms are a six-piece rock and reggae band, forged from friendships born on the school yards, soccer fields, cafe patios and eventually bars of East Vancouver.
Founding members Nazrul and Geordie Hart are lifelong friends who formed their first band in fifth grade. They discovered their mutual passion for Latin music and culture during a musical odyssey they took through Cuba and Mexico as 20-year-olds – so much so that many of Ross’ poetic lyrics are written and sung in Spanish.
Recently, African influences have begun to make their way into the Boom Booms’ groovy stew as the group continues work on their first album, due out this summer.
Aaron Nazrul and the Boom Booms play the Diners Rendezvous Friday (March 25) at 8:30 p.m. Tickets $20. Please call 250-740-1133.
