Welcome!! Latin Lingo is an exciting 9-piece band that draws upon salsa, latin-jazz, pop and rock to create a fresh groove-filled show that both salseros and non-salseros can appreciate. Bandleader Rob Malkin draws upon his unique abilities as a salsa pianist, arranger, and guitarist to choose, interpret, and perform the selections like no one else. The band’s three singers, led by gifted vocalist Leti Candelaria and backed by the voices and percussion of Jeannie Muller and Hannah Balcomb, put on a mesmerizing Spanish-English performance that draws fans from both cultures. Local sax ace Wes Anthony, an avid salsero himself, and trumpeter John Escalera supply the horns while the tumbao is firmly established by Mark Takeuchi on bass, Kevin Di Noto on congas, and Steven Vahle on drums. |

Song samples from our CD (mp3 format):
We go Brazilian in this melodic yet high-energy samba What A Difference A Day Makes (0:54) Played as an elegant cha-cha-cha A little rumba/salsa for you Moving vocals in this driving cha-cha-cha Pop meets salsa in this great Stevie Wonder tune Party time!! A heart-felt bolero with Leti and Rob performing the intro as a vocal/guitar duet; a format we're also available in. Leti gets chatty in this tightly integrated mid-tempo dance number A highly syncopated vocal rap in Spanish and Rob's gripping Hammond organ solo make this salsa medley the band's big closer |
