About the band

Get the crowd out of their seats.

We are a Latin fusion band from Chicago with original music in English and Spanish, in every tropical genre you can think of: bachata, merengue, salsa, cumbia, reggae, reggaeton and even rock and roll. We also take Top 40 hits and flip them into our style to mix into our sets.

We are a high-energy, fun band that loves to get the crowd dancing, with dance lessons for everyone during our performance. We're also known for mixing family-friendly stand-up comedy into our audience banter.

We have shared the stage with many of the biggest names in the Latin industry and have been going strong for over 18 years.
