BACKGROUND:

Tren Latino was formed by Wesley Solomon (Former vocalist of Maquina Loca and Salsa Candela) and world class percussionist Keith Coxon (Also formally from Maquina Loca, Salsa Candela and Latin Kings) to provide an affordable, consistent and excellent quality product without the complicated logistics of a larger band.

The concept an interactive Latin music experience, with songs you can sign along to and others that make you want to get up and move. Latin music is nothing special without the dance styles and it has been a great hit when we teach the audience the basics of how to dance to the music! Dance demonstrations are also available on request.
