Órale 805 Stage Setup Notes

Rhythm Section & Vocals:

• Carlos (bass) Stage left front. Provides backup vocals and uses a talkback mic for communication with the sound engineer and crew. Solid low-end support and rhythmic anchor.

• Rigo (lead vocals, bajo quinto, guitar, flute) Positioned next to Carlos. Acts as a dynamic bridge between rhythm and lead sections. Central to visual and musical engagement.

• Mayrin (lead vocals) Positioned next to Rigo. Adds strong vocal presence and chemistry with Rigo, enhancing the group’s front-line energy.

• Mauro (guitar, accordion, harmonica) Stage right. Contributes backup vocals and a rich instrumental layer. Supports lead vocalists with harmonies and texture.

• Angel (drums) Center stage back. Provides the core rhythmic foundation. Now also adds backup vocals, contributing to vocal harmonies from the backline and connecting rhythmically and vocally with the full band.

Additional Notes:

• Placement ensures balanced sound across the stage and maintains visual symmetry.

• Vocal arrangement now includes backup vocals from Carlos, Mauro, and Angel, creating a fuller harmonic layer behind the lead vocals.

• The talkback mic used by Carlos ensures smooth coordination during live performance and setup.

• The layout supports clear lines of sight and communication between all band members for a cohesive performance.
