Manteca

Salsa-Merengue-Cumbia-Cha Cha Cha-Latin Jazz

The prime line-up (5 piece) comprises keyboard, sax and drum kit performed by top musicians of the Latin scene plus of course Don Fiora on bass and Martha on vocals and "guiro". They are real fire, but when adding loads of brass and percussion (up to 10 piece, subject to availability) this becomes an explosive mixture!

Their repertoire consists of the whole array of the Latin party-club moods…from cool cha-chas, sexy sambas, bossas, great salsas...to the most funky and groovy Latin soul with a splash of Jazz, funk, soul and Drum & Bass.

The name came from the '70s and Dizzy Gillespie's great Latin jazz standard. Manteca means "butter" and they are internationally renowned for seriously raising your chloresterol as you groove to sensational salsa, sizzling samba and the best funky Latin jazz and soul vibes around. Dare to be a wall-flower!

Manteca pioneer a fresh and exhilarating style. Manteca is an expression of the eclectic and ever-changing musical culture in the UK, combined with a love for funky 70’s Nuyorican beats. It's the definitive, most important ingredient to add to any Latin flavour event.
