About Vendor 

Learn more about this vendor for your event.

Dynamic and charismatic Cuban American singer, performer, producer Jose Conde has, for over 15 years, thrilled public and private audiences in thousands of events large and small in New York, Miami and South Florida, across the USA, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. While Conde is well versed in Latin music from the Cuban and Salsa songbook, he is equally at home performing jazz, funk, rock, world music, and show tunes. Known widely for his original music and production for his Cuban band Ola Fresca and his own solo project, Conde brings unparalleled professionalism and vision to all aspects of private events. He is meticulous in preparation, planning, and communication with client, working to ensure they are happy and secure at every step of the process, not just the gig. Conde has collaborated with some of the top party planners in the industry producing highly exclusive live music events in New York and throughout the US and internationally. He has also worked as a music consultant and coordinator for some large scale celebrity wedding events. Recent performances by Conde and his bands include shows in top public and private venues in notable spaces such as Snug Harbor New Orleans, MOMA NY, Museum of the City of New York, Lincoln Center, Sunset Beach-Shelter Island, Mexico City's Publico Prim Museum, Mundoloco Costa Rica, Miami Beach Bath Club, Dumbo Archway and more. A recent Vermont wedding saw Conde wearing many hats, officiating the vows, performing DJ sets, leading a Cuban octet version of Ola Fresca, MCing and bringing the house down with a super night of music (see the dance with the Mango Pic on this site!) Recipient of a Best Latin Album Independent Music Award for his infectious melodic Cuban Roots dance album, (R)evolucion, Jose Conde has received outstanding international critical acclaim for his records with Ola Fresca and his own solo self titled project from amongst others, NYTIMES, BBC, and NPR. Conde and his colleagues are top level concert artists who enjoy bringing the highest standard music to events of any caliber or budget.

Review by Annette C.

FundraiserReviewed on April 2, 2012From Bronx, NY

Jose Conde Y Ola Fresca were fantastic! They had people on their feet and literally begging for more! One guest actually wept about the fact that the party was over and they had to pack up! Jose Conde and the band were real gentlemen and I wish I could have them play for all our parties! This was a fundraiser for the arts and it was a record breaking success! Thank you Jose Conde Y Ola Fresca!!!!!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on September 13, 2010From East Hampton, NY

Jose is unreal! They made our wedding! The wedding was 2 days ago and I'm still having to tell people about where I found them. I went to see them live at S.O.B.'s downtown before they played our wedding and we knew 1 song in that we made the greatest choice! Full of energy and passion, people cant hesitate to dance. We hired them as a 6 pc. band but he has multiple combinations. They did an amazing jazz trio for the cocktail hour. Then all 6 joined forces for our dance sets during the reception. Jose and his band made our NIGHT! Jose you have a fan for life! Please keep me up to date on any new albums you are putting out, I want a signed copy my friend!

Wedding ReceptionReviewed on August 6, 2011From Schenectady, NY

Jose Conde was fabulous: he got everyone to dance, including both salsa lovers and those less accustomed. He has an amazing voice, a very tight band, and a great mix of original and classic material. He was also great to work with. We would highly recommend him to anyone!
