& LATIN MUSIC BAND & DANCE AGENCY
Salsa Direct is the UK's premier specialist agency for authentic salsa bands and latin music groups and musicians of all Latin American styles.

We also supply Latin dancers, Salsa / Merengue / Lambada / Reggaeton / Bachata dance shows / cabaret, and dance teachers / instructors and Latin DJ¹s, in a wide range of styles: from steamy Cuban to exotic Carnival in Rio, traditional Mexican Hat Dancers, sultry Tango, Latin Ballroom, South American Folk dancers - even fiery Caribbean Limbo, all in full authentic costume.
Established for 9 years, we are based in London, UK, but supply our artistes internationally, as far as Dubai, Jordan, Lithuania, Egypt, Bahrain, even South Africa and South America.
Here at Salsa Direct, we know the strengths and specialities of all our personally-vetted acts, and will give you a carefully tailored selection of the acts we believe to be the most suitable for your event, be it a private party, a wedding, a festival, or a high profile TV advertising campaign or international product launch.
Our bands and dancers are based throughout the UK, so we always aim to find you the most suitable local act, to keep prices down. We have the largest up-to-date roster of specialist Latin artistes of any of the UK¹s agencies, and we regularly supply all the other major Agents and Event or Function Planners who come to us for our vast knowledge of Latin American culture, and of the suitability of an act for any specific event.

"NEWS"
December 2007 was a busy season for Salsa Direct, supplying salsa bands and dancers to places as far flung as the Canary islands (Fred Olsen cruises), the Kempinski hotel Gozo (Malta), Le Meridien Dead Sea Resort hotel Jordan, and the Crowne Plaza Bahrain (who we supply with New Year entertainment annually).
Closer to home, we had the following great feedback:
"Please can you thank the band (Coco Xpress)- the pre dinner music was great - spot on - and they were perfect for the after dinner entertainment. A huge thank you also goes out to the dancers - they were excellent - at one point there were only 2 people left sitting at the tables, the rest of the guests were on the dance floor!
Legal & General 'Fire & Ice' party, Nov 2007
"Our event went really well and Mariachi Tequila were great! They really set the scene for our Mexican theme. The Ball raised around £52,000 for our charity and were delighted with that total."
VSA Aberdeen, Nov 2007
"The band (Sonera Calaveras) was great. They were exactly what we were looking for, and hugely enjoyed by all our guests. Thank you for all your help and advice."
FNZ, Edinburgh Oct 2007
"Just writing to say a big thank you to pass onto Soneando band. They were fab and really made the night for us. Lots of people got up and danced and it was so refreshing not to have a disco with the same old tired hits coming out. The band were fun together and the singer was a hit with all the ladies - very appropriate for this time of year! Please thank them on our behalf."
