Established in 2004, we’re a fully live 6 piece Salsa/Mambo/Bugalu band boasting extensive festival, corporate and wedding experience. Alma Latina (‘Latin Soul’) goes right to the source with tunes by Ray Barretto, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri and Cal Tjader and the other hard groove merchants which kept the dance floors of Spanish Harlem packed for two decades. Alma Latina’s line-up follows the model of Eddie Palmieri’s classic ‘La Perfecta’ formation – with trombone and flute front line, plus the authentic back-line of congas, timbales, piano and bass. Equally at home in a jazz club, a dance venue, a wedding or an outdoor festival, the music is definitely con sabor latino, but is not necessarily just for the latin purist. If you want to bring the authentic latin dance vibes to your event, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
