If you are worried about booking these guys-dont! They are absolutely brilliant. Fabulous fun that cuts across all ages, all eras and all tastes. It is impossible not to dance with them playing. We will forever hold just the best memories of that wedding night. We are indebted. It was priceless.

Excellent & everyone felt like dancing at our restaurant/bar event. Punctual, good at staying in touch and prompt in replying. Everybody loved them and their experience in making the evening a success was essential, I wouldn't hesitate to use them again or recommend them.

Wonderful! Alma Latina trio were brilliant at my private party! Fun! So contagious & astonishing the way they got everyone dancing with just the 3 of them. Yuri, Miguel & Paul provided good entertainment all night! Can't wait to book them again.
