Reviews of Latina Festivale

I loved the Latina Festivale set and think it's safe to say that everyone else did too! So much so that mum and her brother had a dance to it before the main courses had even started! They did a great job, big thumbs up from me and the family 🙂
Thanks so much for coordinating and contributing towards an unforgettable celebration 🙂 gracias a ti también!
Oliver, 60th Birthday Party, Latina Festivale @ The Savoy Hotel, London (Westminster), March, 2026

You were simply extraordinarily kind, helpful and generous with your time and offerings. Rory. Your flexibility to adapt to the occasion and effort to provide the music requested for before and after the live singing, was amazing and much appreciated. Your partnership with Harry was brilliant and his cajon just gave that important Latin American flavour to the event. Sereta's singing was wonderful too. Thank you, Thank you. THANK YOU!

"Rory, you, Harry and Sereta were simply wonderful. Not only did you follow thoughtfully what I had requested in the type of music and Latin American ambience for my 70th birthday lunch with 70 people, but also took the trouble beforehand to find some specific music (i.e., the Chabuca Granda songs) and incorporate them into the repertoire. In addition, prior to the event, you kindly replied to all my e-mails and gave me some amazing suggestions including the willingness to incorporate some DJ music during the welcome cocktails and prior to the main music section after lunch. These little things make such a difference and show what a lovely and caring man you are, Rory, as well as being very professional.
Please thank Harry and Sereta from me.  I was sorry that with all the chaos of the day, I may not have thanked them enough.
If the top mark was 10, I would score you 11!😊
Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Great job, and thank you also for your flexibility and patience with the changing brief! Hope to get some more bookings in for you soon.

Headlining at the Festival of Colours, Latina Festivale brought the South-American summer vibes with smooth vocals and tight melodies. The band were easy to work with, and we would book again.

You’re more than welcome for the bookings – thank you for doing such a good job for us and Havana. Hopefully there’ll be more to come in the future and in the meantime we’ll be tucking into the chocolates and the rum! Thanks again!

The gig went well. I was happy with how it had gone.

Just to let you know that the gig went fantastically well last night! They kept the guests on their feet and dancing throughout the evening and as a lot of them were Latin, they accommodated our requests. The musicians were lovely and entertained us very well. I was really pleased with how it went and even had a little dance myself. Thank you for organising the band!

I booked Latina Festivale for our annual company summer party, seeing as it was a Latin-theme party the band were a perfect fit. The booking process with easy and Latina Festivale was efficient getting over all the information I needed. We split the performances into two, which got more up-tempo as the evening went on. The vocals and quality of the musicians were outstanding and the band blended in well with our guests. The live performance definitely made the party all that more memorable, I certainly recommend booking the band for your next party!

Thanks very much. I think it went well. Lots of compliments.

Hi Rory, Was a pleasure to meet you and I loved the band. Just wish I could have stayed longer and had a bunch of my dancers and Latin music fans with me to also enjoy! I'll definitely bear you guys in mind when we need a Latin Band. :-) Regards, Shahid - Salsa Buena.

Thank you so much for playing at our wedding! It was amazing. I loved the way you split the sets into two genres and it worked perfectly I think. Also thank you so much for putting so much time and effort into our request songs. As you could probably tell they went down a treat with everyone there... not only those within our band who knew and loved them but also our friends and family who had never heard anything like loved it too! You guys are truly talented and from start to finish complete professionals. Thank you so much for bringing the rhythms and feel of Latin America and Brazil to our wedding. It was absolutely perfect. If you need me to write any more as a recommendation then please just let me know as I could go on forever! Thank you once again and hopefully our paths will cross in the future somewhere somehow!

Many thanks to you all for coming to play at Beese's Riverside Bar. Latina Festivale is a very professional, talented musician, perfect for providing a happy, relaxed Latin American vibe! He was ideal for creating the kind of atmosphere that our customers love here at our summer venue.

All was well, thank you very much.

A wonderful band and nice people. It certainly made the evening with everyone really enjoying them and partying along. If I was doing a Cuban event again I would not hesitate to hire them again.

Latina Festivale gave a great performance – was versatile and worked alongside the samba dancers to give a great evening’s entertainment. He was a great addition to the ‘Latino’ room. It was nice of him to leave us a play set when he finished playing live.

Latina Festivale was very professional on the run up to the event. I felt confident knowing that he had been in touch regarding all aspects of his gig with us. The band were lovely to deal with on the evening, and very helpful answering questions from our work experience students. Our audience loved them, and were asking when they would next be back.

As a station, we had hired Latina Festivale to play at our Summer Ball. They were to play at the beginning of the evening to create the atmosphere and to get everyone in the mood. Latina Festivale turned up in plenty of time and was nothing but professional. He was incredible helpful with supplying burnt disc with appropriate music on which were going used during our meal. This was above and beyond what they needed to do and was very much appreciated. The music that they played was perfect. It was just the right blend of upbeat and chilled to allowed all party goings to mingle and be heard but also enjoy the music. I would have no issues recommended this band to anyone and using them for future events.
Many thanks for all your assistance and please pass on my thanks to the band.
Kind Regards
Sam (Samantha)

You and your band were absolutely fantastic, they had a great Cuban vibe that gave the party the feeling we were shooting for. The band were really professional and very friendly and I'm glad they got join in with the festivities! I especially enjoyed the mid set wardrobe change. I cant thank you guys enough for the amazing job you did and I'm really looking forward to working with you again at some point in the future. Many Thanks, Perry.

We would like to say a big thank you to our wedding band Latina Festivale for providing great music and create a lovely atmosphere on our wedding. They were enthusiastic and talented and we got very positive feedback from our guests. We had a magical wedding and Latina Festivale has a part of making it such a happy unforgettable event not only for us but for our guests as well. Thank you again!

I saw them when we arrived back to the church, music sounded great and the pair looked professional and happy to be there. In terms of their performance everyone enjoyed it! There were no problems, overall we would definitely book the band again if we were lucky enough to have a large event in the future. Thanks so much for all your help and please do pass on my thanks appreciation to the band. It was great to have them at our wedding!

Please thank Rory and his team, they were fantastic and really made our event. Also thank him for his kind words, it meant a lot that they enjoyed their time performing here at Essex. We will look forward to using them again in the future. Latina Festivale were fantastic and went down a storm. We would not hesitate to use them again in the future. They were very friendly and professional. Thank you for attending our event. Kind regards, Fay.

What can I say? The band were incredible! We loved them and we have not stopped talking about them since. So talented and they added the 'cherry on the top' of a wonderful birthday celebration! Could you please pass on my sincere thanks to Latina Festivale for being so lovely to deal with and to the rest of the band who were so gracious and clearly love what they do! Many Many thanks, Mandy.

We had Latina Festivale at one of our Terrace parties. Latina Festivale put on a great show and our guests definitely enjoyed the night. They created a warm and lively atmosphere and we were really impressed with their repertoire, they sang in English and Spanish. The feedback from our guests was also very positive.

Latina Festivale were an ultra cool sounding band with unmistakable vibe and unique sound. They were the perfect choice for our courtyard and really put you in a summer fiesta mood. Highly recommended. Ronnie Banks, Operational Manager.

The Dog & Fox in Wimbledon Village hosted Latina Festivale on the evening of 6th September as part of our Havana Club promotion. The band were reliable, arrived on time prepared and started as agreed. The guests enjoyed the new tropical vibe the band brought. Many thanks and best wishes, Marta, Sales & Marketing Manager.

Latina Festivale - Easy to communicate, delivering an excellent service. Music and atmosphere great. Thank you guys! Ziggy.

The gig went well! A man from the audience came to me after the performance. He told me that he worked at different types of events and was very interested in hiring the ensemble.

You were great girls!

Latina Festivale put on a beautiful performance for us at The Northcote. They delivered a versatile set ranging from relaxing tunes to up beat lively tunes. Keys, percussion and vocals - all spectacular. They did an amazing job of reading the crowd and creating the perfect energy for the pub. We have never had so many people dancing! I highly recommend Latina Festivale.

Latina Festivale are the perfect function band for a relaxed Latin vibe. They have a great mixture of well and lesser known songs to create the perfect atmosphere for any event. Brilliant to work with, thanks guys!

WOW! What a fantastic night. You guys created such a great atmosphere and our customers loved it! The music was so uplifting and fun, it actually felt like I was in Brazil.

Thanks for your performance, you guys were great. We had Latina Festivale performing at the Lion & Unicorn recently and the music that they provided was perfect for a Saturday afternoon! The staff were dancing and the customers were impressed with the energy that they created. Thanks for the fun and great atmosphere, we definitely would like to see you guys again. Love from The Lions & Unicorns.

Latina Festivale delivered a lively and energetic set at the King's Head. Blending laid back Bossa Nova with upbeat salsa and popular songs, perfect for a seasonal summer's day barbecue, their music was enjoyed by all of our customers.”

The atmosphere created was amazing! The regulars were a bit rowdy but absolutely loved the atmosphere! People were up dancing + singing (and playing piano!) Really happy with the music + vibe! Thank you guys all so much! Incredible night! Kerri xxx

Many thanks to the guys and girl in Latina Festivale. This was something we have never done before and would really like to do again. We had them play outside in our garden and the vibe was excellent. Many customers said we should do this as a regular thing and the mood was excellent. The singer had a beautiful voice and the guys backed him up with super energy. We would love to have the guys back in the future. Many thanks, Mat Sander (Manager).

Thank you very much for playing for us this evening. It was a great atmosphere and thoroughly enjoyed by staff and customers alike. We would very much like you to return if at all possible.
The experience could only have been enhanced if Havana reps could have attended and given our guests some samples.
All in all a great experience. Thank you to everyone.

Latina Festivale were a joy to have perform for our South American Gourmet Evening. They were friendly, professional and, most importantly, great musicians.

Our opening night went smoothly with the great welcoming sounds of Latina Festivale Live Latin Trio. They were professional and really kept that relaxed vibe going through the night. Great band if you want something a bit more quirky but still relatable.

Thanks for last night, It was great!

We loved the music and were so impressed, so well done on doing a great job!

A wonderful band and nice people. It certainly made the evening with everyone really enjoying them and partied along. If I was doing a Cuban event again I would not hesitate to hire them again.

​We thoroughly enjoyed Latina Festivale's performance. Their music and energy had everyone off their chairs and dancing. Everyone that came seemed to really enjoy the night, glad they got up dancing when a few drinks had been drunk!!! Thanks so much for a great evening.

I really enjoyed the show and the energy of the bands' performances. 4S-Events, October 2016
