He later went on to play with two of Cuba’s famous salsa bands, Original de Manzanillo and Candido Fabré y Su Banda with whom he recorded and toured around the world playing at clubs and festivals. Gabriel has performed or shared the stage with many Latin stars such as Los Van Van, Oscar D’Leon, Grupo Niché, Gran Combo de Puerto Rico, Paquito de Rivera and more recently Eliades Ochoa, one of the original Buena Vista Social Club. Now based in London, Gabriel has played with various Latin Bands and has performed at such venues as Ronnie Scott’s, the Jazz Café, the Barbican and Bridgewater Hall. He now puts his experience and talent into his own bands featured on this site. At the forefront of the band with his powerful electric violin, Gabriel is a fine melodic improviser with an impeccable technique. Vocalist, bass, flute & keyboard player Adriana Martyr studied at Universidad Pedagogica de Colombia for music and teaching. Her suavely passionate voice effortlessly combines delicacy and power. Adriana’s talent as a versatile musician and the warmth she generates around her whilst performing makes her an essential part of the band’s chemistry. She can also give a fun salsa class if required! On bongos, percussion and vocals, Flavio Arias brings the stage alive with his natural energy, sensational playing and contagious enthusiasm. Formerly part of the Cuban based band Sexteto Imagen, Flavio captivates his audience, not only with his talent as a singer and percussionist but with his dancing and charm. They say “the Cuban heart beats in the rhythm of salsa and son” and Flavio’s is no exception. We have our own high quality Mackie PA system or can play acoustically if preferred. We can also provide salsa dancers upon request.
