KERUBANDA IS A MERENGUE TIPICO GROUP FROM THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC LED BY ACCORDIONIST KERUBE ORTIZ. THEY ARE KNOWN FOR THEIR AUTHENTIC STYLE OF PERICO RIPIAO, THEIR RENDITION OF "NEGRO CRUZ Y TONO COLON", AND RIVALRIES WITH OTHER RESPECTED MUSICIANS GEOVANNY POLANCO AND EL PRODIGO. MANY WITHIN THE BAND KERUBANDA WERE ORIGINALLY MEMBERS OF THE GROUP LED BY KRENCY GARCIA (EL PRODIGIO) BUT BROKE A MUSIC CONTRACT TO PLAY WITH KERUBE ORTIZ. THIS CREATED A LOT OF INTERNAL FRICTION WITHIN THE GENRE AND BAD BLOOD BETWEEN BAND LEADERS, BUT THINGS WORKED THEMSELVES OUT EVENTUALLY. THEIR BAND INCLUDES INSTRUMENTS SUCH AS QUIRA, TAMBORA, ACCORDION, BASS, SAXOPHONE, CONGA, ELECTRIC PIANO AND 3 VOCALISTS WHICH ALL 3 REPRESENT A DIFFERENT RHYTHM OF MUSIC PLAYED
KERUBE ORTIZ, THE BANDS LEADER AND ACCORDIONIST WAS BORN IN SANTIAGO RODRIGUEZ IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC. WHILE GROWING UP AS A CHILD, HIS FATHER BOUGHT HIM HIS FIRST ACCORDION, WHICH HAD 10 NOTES. WITH PRACTICE KERUBE BECAME A GOOD PLAYER AND PERFORMED AT SMALL EVENTS AND SOCIAL GATHERINGS. IN THE 1990S, KERUBE FORMED KERUBE ORTIZ Y SU COJUNTO TIPICO IN NEW YORK, WHOSE POPULATION OF DOMINICAN MERENGUE TIPICO MUSICIANS WAS STARTING TO BOOM. LATER, HE FORMED LA KERUBANDA AND MADE HIS DEBUT ON JUNE 9, 2004, ON A TV SHOW CALLED "EL SHOW DE NELSON" HE MADE HIS FIRSY APPEARANCE LIVE IN SANTIAGO, DOMINICAN REPUBLIC ON JUNE 18, 2004.
