ON TOUR JUNE-JULY 2019
Urban Salsa from the streets of Bogota! They have the freshness that only a young hard salsa band can have. La-33, was founded in 2002 in Bogotá (Colombia) by the two brothers Sergio and Santiago Mejia. The album debut titled "La-33", released in 2004 as an independent production, won immediate success for its arrangements, lyrics, clean recording and great sound, and specially for their worldwide Latin dance hit - "La Pantera Mambo", a mambo version of "The Pink Panther". La-33 is hard-swinging salsa & Latin Jazz from Bogota for an irresistible and infectious urban salsa concert! This is clearly a band that generates excitement and does it with a sense of humor. There is no stuffiness here, and the music is totally refreshing.
SONGLINES
I loved this storming assault of Latin brass when we reviewed, but having seen them live I'm convinced that is one of the best party bands on the planet.
