WANTED: SINGER FOR LONDON LATIN BIG BAND

Hi,
Are you a Spanish-speaking singer with a love of latin music, esp. salsa and cha cha cha classics? We are a mixed south London based salsa band who rehearse fortnightly and have several gigs a year, playing salsa, cha cha cha and latin jazz dance classics. Our music is fast, energetic and upbeat. We are a 10-12 piece comprising rhythm section, all-female horn section, vocals. We love playing together but we need a 2nd vocalist to join our (male) lead vocalist on coros with the possibility of taking some lead vocals in the future. Drop me a line if you’re interested and I can send you a link to our stuff.
Thanks.
Manda (piano player) (female)

    Hi Manda! Nice to meet you! I would be very interested. Please keep my details on file, my email is alealtieri@hotmail.com. Just send me an email and I will give you my phone number 🙂

  2. Hello! My name is Colleen Andrea, I’m Spanish – speaking, young, funny and I’m a Professional Singer from Colombia, I will be happy to be part of your group. I’m now in Plymouth but I’m moving to London in 4 weeks . PM for more details.

    • Hi Colleen,

      You got in touch with us a few years ago (just before lockdown) when we posted an ad on Musicians Forum for a new singer to join our band. We are on the lookout again and I thought I’d get in touch.

      I play piano with Los Domingos, we are a 12-piece big band who play salsa dance classics and a bit of Latin jazz. We are looking for a charismatic singer, Spanish-speaking, to join our band, Los Domingos, a south London-based salsa big band playing 10-15 gigs a year in and around London. You would be singing coros and sharing lead duties with our singer, José Galan.

      Our repertoire is salsa and cha cha cha dance classics – Tito Puente, Eddie Palmieri etc. We are all about growth and learning, trying out new songs, playing and gigging together, with regular rehearsals, sectionals and masterclasses from visiting salsa greats like Roberto Pla, Jose Volga.

      I don’t know if this is something you would be interested in, but we would love to hear from you if you are!

      Have a good week 🙂

      Manda
