Birdie Mendoza Latin Band from Venice, CA

the BIRDIE MENDOZA Band offers a mix of classic dance & cocktail music with a latin twist. Their repetoire ranges from American Jazz (uptempo swing and ballads) to Brazilian music (Bossa Nova & Samba) to Latin standards (Cha Cha and Salsa) to weddings classics everyone can dance to, from artists like Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Prince & Madonna. Birdie is a favorite among Hollywood tastemakers because of her hip lounge & Latin songlist. Past clients include: Dancing with the Stars, Kate Turning (photographer, katy perry, britney spears, selena gomez), Gallo Wine, UbiSoft, Director of American Idol Live Tour, Roosevelt Hotel, Wynn, Aria and MGM Grand (Vegas), Walker Advertising, ABC News, Queen Mary and more. Birdie has also sung backup for the legendary RAY CHARLES and toured Latin America with Spanish superstar Raphael. Birdie and band have performed at dozens of southland weddings, star-studded affairs and fun-loving backyard weddings, and they can work in a variety of setups, with any combination of keyboards, guitar, bass, drums and horns. The classic band setup is Birdie on Vocals, Keyboards, Bass & Drums, but another popular setup is her duo (2 performers) with Birdie on Vocals and box drum (Cajon) accompanied by guitar. Birdie can also provide instrumental music only (with Birdie dancing a range of styles and getting out on the dance floor with the crowd). Whether you want latin & jazz cocktail music or more uptempo dance numbers, Birdie and her A-list band deliver. Watch the MAS QUE NADA or OYE COMO VA Video clips to see them in action. Songs are sung in English, Spanish and Portuguese. A brilliant sound system can also be provided. Birdie and her band will travel.
