VIP Formula is a Refreshing Project formed by experienced musicians from both Cuba and Venezuela who have performed internationally throughout their careers, including North America, Europe and Asia. The default Line-Up format is a 3-piece band, but for larger events, we can offer bigger formats up to a 5-piece band.
VIP Formula is not only a Cuban band singing Cuban tunes in Spanish, which is great... But we are a completely different choice from the other Cuban bands in London and the UK. We do what they don't do because we also specialise in UK/US greatest hits performed in Cuban style.
In our performances, you should expect to listen to Cuban Classics as played by Buenavista Social Club Cuban Orchestra, Benny More, Miguel Matamoros, and many of the Greatest Cuban Hits of all times, along with Original Cuban Arrangements of hits by Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Steve Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Sting, Joe Cocker, Oasis, and Ed Sheeran among others.
The audience will be so delighted with our catchy rhythms that no one will be able to resist dancing to the band.
Your customers will love being involved in our show, singing along, clapping their hands, and playing minor percussion instruments with us on stage. Fun and entertainment are guaranteed!
When the VIP Formula performs, you better bring your dancing shoes to join them for a Latin Experience full of rhythm, fun and catchy vibes.
