About
My name is Johnny Martinez. I am the singer/guitar player and director for a few bands. One of them is La Cora, which is the straight classic salsa big band. Tempo ,a smaller band which plays a mix salsa,merengue,bachata,boleros,Latin Pop,R&B and Rock en español. We service most of the tri-state area meaning, Chicago,Indiana and Michigan. We are equipped to service any size event and can provide Lighting and sound equipment . I also have an all in English Pop/Funk&Rock band called Soulmatik which covers anything from John Mayer,Lettuce,Jamiroquai, Marcus King and more...we do everything and legitimately!
