Camelia Bands

Based in Somerville Massachusetts

Hi,

I'm a full-time musician, Berklee graduate, and bandleader of 3 small Latin groups:

1. The "CAMELIA LATIN DANCE BAND" consists of a TRIO (3 musicians) and a QUARTET (4 musicians), but can also be expanded to a QUINTET (5 musicians). It specializes in oldies and classic Latin songs in the merengue, salsa, bachata, cumbia, and bolero styles, and has vocals (singing). It's very appropriate for lively or danceable occasions.

2. The "CAMELIA LATIN-JAZZ BAND" comes in 2 sizes: as a TRIO and a QUARTET, and it plays instrumental (no singing) jazz standards but with Latin rhythms, which we identify as salsa-jazz, merengue-jazz, bachata-jazz, cumbia-jazz, and bolero-jazz. It's more appropriate as a "non-boring" type of background music.

3. The "GRUPO CAMELIA Y SU JAZZ LATINO" is the Spanish version of the Latin jazz band and also consists of 2 sizes: a TRIO and a QUARTET. It takes popular Spanish songs and converts them into Latin jazz arrangements, by adding jazz solos. It would be more appropriate as background music for a mainly Latino community or event.

Our website contains additional information (like our song list, duration of our sets, price rates, etc.) Please feel free to request the web address from GigRoster (or do a search for it; publishing it here would go against established policies).

Thank you,

Roderick Camelia.
