UK Salsa Band and appeared in front of 20.000 people
at the most popular open air event in the Salsa calendar: “The
Latin American Carnaval del Pueblo”
in Bermondsey Park London. This proved an excellent stage to premiere
the band with the large crowd enjoying the best in modern salsa
and, in the end, were left pleading for more.

With a line-up of
Latin an English musicians, the band play music based on the roots
of traditional Salsa –as played in Latin America – infused
with the rhythms of Mambo, Cumbia, Pachanga and Boogaloo.

section and furious percussion guarantees you will dance the night
away to the red hot Latin rhythms of a far off land! |
