We are BOURBON Y TEQUILA an exciting nine piece band offering a unique blend of Jazz and Salsa
- in other words we bring you the very best from North and South America.
Leeds to Havana at the speed of music!
It might be a long-haul journey even at the speed of light
but when Leeds based Latin musician Enrico Marchesi
and his nine-piece band Bourbon y Tequila strike up the salsa rhythm
you can almost feel the scorching tropical heat.
The band consists of 4 horns, 3 percussionists, keyboard, bass and Cuban vocalist.
Bourbon y Tequila play mainly original tunes with a dash of Salsa classics
thrown in for good measure and their sets are rapidly earning
them an impressive reputation with audiences around the UK and Europe.

Enrico Marchesi is a graduate of the Bergamo and Rome Conservatoire

including the jazz legend Sonny Rollins.
Moving to UK, he played live with many top UK latin bands.
He now leads this tight ensemble fusing an infectious
Latin percussion section with the jazz sensibilities of a stonking quadruple-horn front-line.
