The Finishing Touch — Weddings, Events, Design, Paperie

Hector Jr Y Su Orquesta C.A.N.I. is a New York City latin salsa band. Our Mission is to bring joyous latin salsa music to our clients and latin salsa lovers from around the world. We believe in performing in unison in order to bring out the core roots of Salsa Brutal. Our style of music is centered around bringing out an energetic experience with our audiences and that is because we play for the public not for ourselves!

La Orquesta C.A.N.I. was created on June 17, 1999 in New York City.  Our style of music caters specifically to Salsa, Latin Jazz, Latin R&B, Cha-Cha, Descarga, Bolero and Merengue music. We have a very powerful three trombone section which differentiates us from other "Ordinary Latin Salsa Bands" this is why we are called C.A.N.I.  We also have a very powerful percussion section that moves Latin salsa dancers in a special way that brings out their passion for dancing. We know from experience that our music energy is what differentiates us from other bands because our style has a unique way of expressing itself on cue. We have had the most experienced singers come through the group such as Pete Pagan ex (Los Hermanos Morenos) Alfredo "Male" Torres ex (Joe Cuba) Rey Bayona ex (Jimmy Bosch) and Luis Soto ex (Jose Mangual Jr).

Our main specialty is weddings because we also M.C. (Master of Ceremonies) the event for you and handle any announcements, toasts or presentations that require excellent communication skills. Our style of music is traditional Latin salsa from the 70's 80's 90's such as Hector La Voe, Ismael Rivera, Roberto Roena and Ray Barretto.  Then we have our own original style compositions called C.A.N.I.

In closing, Hector Jr Y Su Orquesta C.A.N.I. is not just an "ordinary Latin salsa band" we are an "AN ENERGETIC EXPERIENCE" you will want to take with you and share it with your family and friends. I GUARANTEE IT.
