Ubuntu I am because you are :)
I can't start to express how grateful we are that Verny was part of our wedding celebration. Not only he was on board as soon as we asked him, (even though it involved international travel) but also he took care of everything from the local band, audio equipment, DJ, etc, making it a stress free and all inclusive booking.
Everything was orchestrated to perfection, and to this day, our guests still talk about how great the band was and how much fun they had!
First and foremost Verny Varela and his band played great Salsa. Everybody was dancing all night long.
Verny has a large repoutoire from which to play. For us, he played everything from classic Buena Vista Social Club to his own songs. He even took requests!
In addition, Verny and his whole band were very professional. He checked out the performance space before the event, was accomodating with the time and length of the sets, and the whole band was on time and had a great attitude.
I would highly recommend him for your next Salsa event! We will definitely book him again!
This salsa ensemble performed in several corporate events at the institution I used to work for. Verny Varela and his band are reliable, responsible, on time and with very good disposition. Their repertoire is varied, well played and will definitely make a great party. I always recommend them when I have a chance.
