Salsa Como Loco

About Me


This band is for dancing.

Set up by members of various bands including The Peace Artistes, Bassa Bassa, Duende, Red Herrings, Small World Band and Bradford Samba band, with an overpowering love of, and desire to play, Cuban style Salsa dance music, their main reason for playing is to get people dancing (and no we don't care how you move so long as you do).

The band is made of musicians who've been playing together over a number of years in a variety of different musical contexts.

Often supported by their very own DJ who spins a mixture of Latin style tunes in the spaces.

Since starting up just over a year ago they have put together a stonkin' Dance set and have been playing for venues and parties around Bradford. Look for them branching out to other local cities and towns soon
