About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Selected by NPR/WNYC as Manhattan's best band of 2015. The explosive Los Habaneros are a force to behold on stage. Mixing musical styles from their home in Cuba with the diversity of sounds they encountered when they made New York City their home, Los Habaneros transcend traditional musical genres to create a real fusion that provokes fans into hip-shaking abandon. The band is comprised of a young generation of Havana-trained musicians, including director and singer Gerardo Contino, artistic director and pianist Axel Tosca Laugart, and percussionist Yusnier Sanchez Bustamante. For events, Los Habaneros can play from a wide repertoire of Latin music in addition to their original music. They have DJs they work with for events as well. Los Habaneros know how to get everyone on the dance floor and their musicians are world class jazz musicians who can also play a wide array of Latin Jazz as well. The band's first album, Somos Latinos (2013), was released to very high critical acclaim. It was produced by Latin Grammy-nominated Luisito Quintero, and included 5 time Grammy-award winning bassist John Benitez. Los Habaneros have toured in Peru, Canada, Qatar, and all throughout the United States. They have played at the Kennedy Center for the Arts as official performers for TEDMED, the American Folk Festival, Brooklyn Academy of Music, BB King Blues Club, Subrosa, BAMCafe, The Green Space, Sounds of Brazil (SOBs), Le Poisson Rouge, The Bronx Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, Live at the Gantries, Roulette, Gonzalez y Gonzalez, Taj, and many others. Their second album, LOS HABANEROS, was released in 2018 and they are currently working on new music.

Gerardo Contino were fantastic. They were very accommodating when we had to change our event time and very helpful in answering our questions when preparing for the event. At the event, they were professional, fun and really enjoyable! All of our guests loved them!
