Two eager musicians from distinct backgrounds, myself an Italian-Greek American kid from Madison, Wisconsin with dreams of being the next Tito Puente or Cal Tjader and Tito Rivera a full blood Puertorriqueno and Salsero born and bred in Brooklyn.

This shared collaboration has continued since 1996 and over the years Grupo Latin Vibe has made 3 full length CDs of which has produced several international hits with La Llave being the biggest. References to The Joe Cuba Sextet and Louie Ramirez have been made. Our belief is that our distinct signature sound of vibes with Tito's unique "NY-Jibaro style" voice produces a unique velvety and swinging salsa tune, and simply put our music is "Salsa-Jazz".

We have seen dancers move with synchronicity of heart and body to our sound and at other times attentively gathering around the bandstand to groove on our Latin Jazz.

REVIEW & PURCHASE MUSIC

SON7 (Son Siete)
(website:  http://son7.weebly.com/index.html)
This band came together in 2010 with some of the best musicians in the city of Houston. With a simple 8-musician ensemble, Son7 has rocked some of the greatest Latin venues in the city with modern style and immense talent.

Son7’s musicians come from different backgrounds and have been able to combine their musical styles to produce great, modern SALSA. The band has very experienced musicians with a combination of great music and a lot of charisma.

Each Son7 show is unique. The repertoire includes a combination of classic and modern Salsa with old school tunes such as El Gran Combo’s ‘Fiesta de Pilito’ and modern songs such as Marc Anthony’s ‘Valio la Pena’.
