Charlie & the Tropicales bring a 1950's Caribbean hotel party to life with torrid horns, tropical rhythms and infectious grooves. With a nod to New Orleans’ history as the northernmost port of the Caribbean, the Tropicales perform music from Trinidad and Venezuela, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and other destinations along the archipelago. Scorching tropicalia, and classic New Orleans jams. Biguines and boleros, calypsos and cumbias. Songs that get stuck in your head. Guaranteed to melt the ice in your drink.

Their latest release, New Orleans '26 arrives on LP, CD, and streaming services April 28, with a mix of calypso, rocksteady, cumbia, and biguine featuring Jon Cleary (Charlie has been with the Absolute Monster Gentlemen for years and recorded 3 albums with Jon), Sally Baby, Mireya Ramos, and more. A mix of original compositions, Allen Toussaint classics, and deep cut Carribean melodies, released thru Well Kept Secret in the US and Liquidator Music in Spain. An excellent addition to any LP collection, and a wonderful snapshot of the current music scene in New Orleans.

The Tropicales have been keeping an incredibly busy schedule in New Orleans since 2024, establishing themselves as one of New Orleans' most exciting young bands - performing regularly at Snug Harbor, Tipitina's, the Broadside, Saturn Bar, Vaughans, and BJs Lounge, not to mention the Jazz and Heritage Festival, Jazz Fest, ThreadHead events, parties at the 4 Seasons and hotels all over town. The Tropicales released Jump Up in August of 2024 through NuTone Recordings featuring guest vocalists Cyrille Aimee, Quiana Lynell, and Drew Gonsalves on material ranging from classic New Orleans R&B, to traditional calypsos, cumbias, biguines, and boleros. The 2024 Jump Up tour includes dates in Key West, New York City, New Haven, Cape Cod, Asbury Park, the Exit Zero Jazz Festival and of course New Orleans.
