Where do you need a Latin Band?
FAQ about hiring a Latin Band
On average, a professional Latin band costs $750-$1250 for two hours. Pricing often varies depending on your location, the performance length, the size of the band, and their experience level. If you’re looking for something more budget-friendly, consider finding a small Mexican band or perhaps a Latin duo or trio group.
On GigSalad, Latin bands are most commonly booked for 2 hours. Music groups generally play in 30-45 minute sets with 10-15 minute breaks in between. Discuss the structure of your event with your Latin band in advance, and they can often accommodate or adjust their sets accordingly.
Before you begin your search, consider what kind of music you want. Do you want a Latin or salsa vibe for your event? Are you seeking a traditional Mexican band for a party? Or perhaps an upbeat mariachi band would be a better fit. Once you know what Latin sound you are looking for, begin browsing profiles of local Latin bands near you. Watch videos, listen to audio samples, and look through photos to get an idea of their music style and experience.
Reading reviews from past clients is also a great way to learn more about a band you’re considering hiring. Seeing real experiences will give you a better indication of what it will be like to work with them – is their communication good, are they on time for their gigs, do audiences respond well to their performance?
The Latin genre encompasses pretty much any music of Latin American, Spanish, or Portuguese origin. This can include Latin jazz bands, salsa bands, mariachi bands, Cuban bands, or Spanish and Mexican rock bands. Latin music is high energy and very rhythmic, making them an excellent party band or wedding band.
Most bands come fully equipped with speakers, amps, mixers, mics, and stands along with their instruments and gig kit. If the sound system and stage lighting are provided by the venue, be sure to discuss these details with the musicians and include them in the booking agreement.
You should allow at least 45 minutes for the band to set up and another 15-20 minutes to do a soundcheck. To make the process as easy and efficient as possible, discuss the venue parameters with the musicians in advance. Outline the parking details, loading entrances, and electricity sources.
As long as the stage or performance area is clear, you can usually handle other event setup tasks at the same time as the band is loading in and doing their soundcheck. We recommend discussing this plan with your band in advance to make sure no one will be in the other’s way.
The amount of performance space required will depend on the size of the band you hire. Some Latin bands may have 10 or more members, while a Spanish rock band may have as few as three. Latin music is also very upbeat, and the performers are likely to move around, so you'll want to provide adequate space for that. Before booking, discuss the band’s needs and spacing requirements so you can plan accordingly when arranging your event space.
If you are hosting a large event and want to book a 5-6 piece band, a raised-up stage will create a better experience for your guests. Whereas if you’re hiring a small Latin group to provide background music, they can often just occupy a corner of the room.
You can hire a Latin or Mexican band for events of all types. They are commonly booked for quinceañeras, Cinco de Mayo parties, and other Spanish-themed events. Latin jazz groups and salsa bands are also popular for weddings, corporate events, birthdays, and even holiday parties.
