NG La Banda is an important group in the history of Cuban music especially in the late 80s and early 90s.The NG stands for Next Generation. Flutist Jose Luis "El Tosco" Cortes was a member of the pioneering Cuban jazz group Irakere in the late 70s. Then he was a member of Los Van Van in the 80s. He formed NG La Banda in 1988. He called it timba music. The idea was to apply the musicianship of jazz to popular Cuban music. They didn't release albums at the time. Songs like Neceasito Una Amiga only appeared on various artists albums like the one pictured. Isaac Delgado was the lead singer. He left in 1992 to go solo. Also featured is drummer Giraldo Piloto. They began to release CDs after they left. Obviously the band membership has changed frequently over the years. NG la Banda last recorded in 2014. It looks like Cortes still leads a version of the band. Here's NG La Banda featuring Isaac Delgado on lead vocals performing Necesito Una Amiga.
