Son de Brooklyn
Overview
Son de Brooklyn plays the contagiously fun, rum-drenched music of Cuba and Latin America with a modern, Brooklyn sensibility. Featuring musicians from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Colombia, and Venezuela, we breathe new life into the salsa classics with a touch of bolero, bachata and merengue as well. With years of experience, a GRAMMY-winning singer, and comprehensive insurance, you can count on us to bring your event to life.
