Made Our Work Holiday Event Feel Like a Real Party

We booked Los Calderones for a corporate holiday party and they were absolutely amazing. The energy was incredible from start to finish and they completely transformed the event into a real celebration. People were dancing, smiling, and genuinely having fun the entire night.

They were professional, easy to work with, and everything ran smoothly. So many guests came up to ask about the band and said it was one of the most fun company parties they’d been to.

If you’re looking for a live Cuban salsa band that brings great vibes and keeps people on the dance floor, I can’t recommend Los Calderones enough. We would book them again in a heartbeat.

Influences and inspiration

Professional Background & Experience

I have had the privilege of performing with internationally renowned bands and artists across the globe. Originally from Cuba, I spent four years with **Orquesta Adalberto Álvarez y Son de Cuba**, one of Cuba’s most prestigious ensembles, where I gained deep experience in diverse musical styles and learned from cultures around the world.

Since moving to the United States, I have collaborated with a variety of well-known bands and artists, including **MJ Brass Boppers, Golden Bell Music, Dirtwire**, and multiple wedding and event bands. These experiences have allowed me to perform at remarkable venues and share the stage with incredible musicians.

Now, I am combining the rich traditions of Cuban music with the diverse musical styles I’ve embraced here in the U.S., creating a unique fusion perfect for weddings, corporate events, festivals, and private celebrations.

Our full team shares this passion and brings equally impressive experience. We all met in the **San Francisco Bay Area**, and together we strive to deliver high-energy, memorable performances for every event.
