Grupo Arcano is a salsa band that brings the best from a rich tradition, as well as the hottest trends in salsa music. To packed dance floors, Grupo Arcano plays the hits from decades past as well as explosive original compositions. Its members, whose expertise in a range of musical backgrounds including jazz, soul, merengue, funk, and classical, unite to perform some of the most exciting Salsa music in New York City.
“What I love about Salsa and merengue and other forms of Latin music is the interplay of the instruments, the way the sections layer upon each other in the mambo or moña sections,” says Vélez.
In original Grupo Arcano tunes such as “Esa Mujer,” and “Rumba en mi Barrio,” the power of Vélez’ mambos is what inspires the musicians to increase their intensity, and the dancers to stay on the dance floor all night long.
