About / Biography

Casino Riviera is formed of four experienced musicians from Cuba. Our band members started their career in Havana and Santiago de Cuba, playing with who's who in the island's son, jazz, pop and classical music scene. Our repertoire is anchored in the Buena Vista Social Club classics, but we also play other latin standards, in our way. Every one of our performances is different, and we let the interaction and energy drive the show. One thing will be guaranteed: We will ensure your fiesta is one to remember.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best gig you've ever done and the best venue you've ever played at?

As a band, the most exciting gig We played was a private event at KOKO. We had some celebrities dancing the night with us, which is one to remember for sure.


Which artists have you been most influenced by, who is your favourite artist and what is the greatest song of all time?

We almost unanimously agree that our biggest influence as a band is Buena Vista Social Club, and the albums that emerged from the project, where some of the instrumentalists had the chance to combine virtuosity and their take on the Cuban music tradition. This idea is what We try to convey with Casino Riviera.


What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

We started gigging together as part of other latin bands.The interaction and affinity of characters and taste just prompted us to make a band.


What's your favourite type of event to play at?

All events have some aspects that made them special, but We would say that wedding are by far our favourite type of event. The guests are always happy and the mood and energy is everywhere. On top of that, the audience tend to pay attention to the musicians and to interact with them, which is particularly rewarding for us.

Performance Info

What are your typical setup and performance times?

We normally perform 3 x 40 minutes, or 2 x 45 minutes sets. In terms of setup, we normally arrive 1-2 hours before the performance, depending on the venue and the type of event.


Are you happy to perform outside?

We are happy to play outside but we ask for shade, a flat level surface and a power supply close to the performance are.


Do the clients have a say in what you play or is it a set repertoire list only?

We are happy to play the customer's pick from our repertoire. We can also learn up to three specific songs before the event.


How do previous clients most commonly describe your performances?

We have been described as authentic Latin flair with a romantic, polished style that fit the vibe perfectly.
