Sounds Like: Grupo Irék mixes the sounds of Cuba - Son, Cha-Cha, Mambo - with New York City flavor into its original tunes. The band members come from all parts of the globe. With representation from Cuba, Columbia, Germany, Israel and Brooklyn, Grupo Irék proves that music comes from the soul.
Grupo Irék is based in New York City. They were the house band at Socialista where they played for an exclusive clientele including, Sting (who hired the band to play at many private parties), Madonna, Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore (who hired the band to play Ashton’s 30th birthday party), Oscar de la Renta, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruiz and Mickey Rourke.
One reason to catch their live shows is to see singer Chino Pons in action. His dancing has been compared to Fred Astaire and Michael Jackson...
Grupo Irék has been featured on NBC TV and on 99.5 FM NYC.
Record Label: Unsigned
