Featuring dynamic musicians from Cuba, Colombia, Mexico, and Canada, Son Latino puts a unique cross-cultural spin on Latin American music. The band is a favourite live ensemble for salsa dancers and Latin music aficionados in Halifax. 

Son Latino’s repertoire is a mix of traditional and contemporary tunes from all over Latin America, and includes compulsively danceable rhythms like salsa, merengue, bachata, cha cha, and more. Son Latino’s instrumentation is reminiscent of a Cuban sexteto, featuring traditional percussion (congas, bongos, maracas, claves, guiro), bass, keyboard, trumpet, and vocals. Steeped in the tradition of Cuban son (the island’s pre-revolution folk and popular music) the band has performed several sold-out tributes to the great Buena Vista Social Club. 

With driving rhythms, tight vocals, and improvisational flair, Son Latino makes it almost impossible for audiences to sit still.
