Palenke
Palenke, London's leading Latin American Dance band, was born in 1990 to the collective talents of Fernando Suarez - "Kinacho" and Lisandro Zapata from Colombia. Both are highly professional performers and are widely experienced in the Latin and Jazz scene.
The Band's eclectic repertoire is passionate, dynamic and eminently danceable: from the characteristically hot blooded tempos of Cuban Salsa and Brazilian Lambada, the traditional folk rhythms of Colombian cumbia and Dominican Merengue, to the latest Caribbean Reggae and universally popular Spanish style "Gypsy Kings".
This all singing band includes the traditional latin rhythm section, piano, guitar, bass, congas, bongos and timbale. It is fronted by Adriana Santana also Colombian, who has become the "Queen of Salsa" in London captivating the audience with her magnetic voice and sensual dancing.
Over the years Palenke has toured: Switzerland (Montreaux Festival), France, Italy, Spain, Tunisia, Morocco, Malaysia, Indonesia, Ireland and Turkey. The band has performed for dignitaries such as Prince Charles, the late King Hussein of Jordan, King Juan Carlos of Spain and has become a spicy ingredient at hotels, clubs and many pop stars parties.

Latin Salsa / Latin Jazz Band
Flexible sized band 4 - 7 musicians offering 2 x 50 minute sets
This Latin Salsa / Latin Jazz Band has become one of the sought after Salsa dance and Latin jazz bands on the London and UK scene today.
The musicians came together in 1999, inspired by traditional Cuban music in the Son style – the roots of Salsa. Merging their own unique styles of performance, the group created its own sound that combines the rhythms of Latin America with European harmony and the virtuosity of jazz. A combination which has resulted in compelling music for dancing and the concert stage.
Their musicians, who are from Europe and Latin America, have had an eclectic musical training with professional experiences to match, encompassing: Latin American, jazz, pop and classical music.


Gypsy Kings Tribute
This Band are the foremost Gipsy Kings Act available anywhere after the Original Gipsy-Kings. The trio, and the full Gipsy Kings live tribute act, have been working from a UK base and have performed worldwide.
Since summer of 2008, the band have incorporated a lead singer from the Carmargue region of France, Nino Cantarell, - a Gipsy from the Carmargue rumba families of the area, and as such with a full 9-piece live act, now offer the definitive alternative to the actual Gipsy Kings.
The Band is available in a smaller format, from trio to quartet and onwards, and, playing to backing tracks on mini disc, this still captures the true feeling of Gipsy Kings songs and instrumentals particularly when the main Gipsy singer from France, Nino is included, and makes for the perfect combination for both receptions and full-fiesta dancing/party events.
For performances with the smaller band set-up, we use full backing tracks on mini-disc for each piece of music, hence the sound is very full even as a trio.
We normally play 3 x45 minute sets, which you will find covers any event very well. During our breaks, we can play background music, your own cds if you wish, through our PA system.

Guitarist Jules
Jazz, Flamenco, Latin and African music
London-based guitarist Jules has performed all around the world. He has gained knowledge of a number of styles, notably Jazz, Flamenco, Latin and African music.
For a relaxed and sensitive performance on the Spanish guitar, Jules plays a wide repertoire for your special event, wedding reception or conference.
Jules’ strength is to play popular melodies on the classical guitar that you will recognise and enjoy listening to. He makes sure he captures the mood of the event, and keeps his music firmly in the background, not playing too loud as to interrupt your flow of conversation.
His versatility is demonstrated by the variety of his set- he could start with the classical theme Romanza, follow with the jazz standard All The Things You Are, then perform the pop-classic Time After Time and go on with the Latin hit Mas Que Nada…
Set length: from 30 minutes to 2 hours
