The concept of the music from the Caribbean, Salsa, Merengüe, and Cuban music creates a flavor of Latin music unique to this musical group. The group functions as a mix of live performance and the highest technological aide of Sample Sequenced Music to create a total entertainment performance certain to satisfy all Latin styles of music. You’ve got to hear these three individuals make the best Latin Style music in San Diego.

Influences: All the way from the Beatles, Chuby Checker, and all the rock and roll musicians of the 1960s. The Fania artists such as Larry Harlow, Ismael Miranda, Eddie Palmieri, Bari Rogers, Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, Jose Luis Monero Orchestra and Babo Jimenez Orchestra. I've been influenced by musicians from all the South American Countries and West African Nations. I did extensive touring in these countries and received amazing teaching from all these great musicians I met during my trips to South America, West Africa, the Caribbean and Europe.
Sounds Like: My band has an very original and authentic Salsa/Merengue sound. I specialized in Afro-Cuban and Classic Salsa. We have "Sabor" and the fans love the arrangement we do of covers as well as my originals.The originals are an eclectic mix of Afro-Cuban, Jazz, R&B arranged with a big band style harmony. Lots of counter-point and rich melodies and choruses.Guest Book
