Sonido Costeño
Sonido Costeño has been performing in the NYC area and abroad for more than 15 years. We attract a wide variety of audiences in the way we manipulate our repertoire according to the occasion or venue. Our fan base covers from the Generation X,Y & Z, Baby Boomers, all the way into the seniors' population. Our dynamic performances and audience rapport has made us the regular band at Tito Puente's restaurant in City Island.
Our engagements range from the cultural, corporate and commercial: On the cultural side we've performed at: El Museo del Barrio, Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn Children's Museum, BAM Cafe, Association of Hispanic Arts, etc.
On the commercial level: the legendary Bayamo, Alex Garcia's Babalu Club/Rest, L'ivre, Nell's, Supper Club, Nova Terra, Two Boots in Park Slope, Tito Puente's, Cafe St. Barts, and Makeda to name a few. Corporations that have become regular clients and sponsors: Salomon Smith Barney, MorganStanley, Citigroup, Reader's Digest, El Diario/La Prensa, etc.
At present the band consists of Berkley trained killer piano man Sam Barrios, drummer- percussionist Urbano Sanchez who plays for Lionel Ritchie, Richard Bona and Papa Wemba, Danny Hinton on bass who works with the top Salsa bands in NYC, Ivan Rodriguez Jr. on Drums and Timbas and myself, JuanMa Morales on the Puertorican cuatro/guitar & vocals. These are my regulars, incredible musicians and close friends.
Our repertoire is Up-Tempo Salsa, Cuban Son (Buena Vista Social Club style), Bomba+Plena, Merengue, and our own special blend of chacha and reggae which we call Reggao. You can hear the jazz influence in our improvisational solos. We also feature Latin standards upon request.
