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.

Warning: This catchy group will leave you with a tasty, authentic, and spicy aftertaste that may cause involuntary moving of the hips, tailbone, hands, feet, and other extremities.
Directions: Mix ingredients together in sweltering restaurant, club, cafe, from New York to Havana. Sip rum. Close eyes, dance, and sing along. Repeat. You now have a sumptuous musical banquet of son, timba, rumba, danzón bolero, merengue and Santeria toques blended with New York and New Orleans jazz, funk, and soul. ! Buen provecho!
