The Chan Chan Band
The Chan Chan Band is a London Latin band formed by experienced musicians from Cuba and Venezuela who have performed internationally throughout their careers, including North America, Europe and Asia. The default Line-Up format is a 3-piece band, but for larger events we can offer bigger formats up to a 5-piece band.
The Chan Chan Band is not your average Cuban Band! They not only sing Cuban tunes in Spanish, but they also specialise in English and American pop hits played in a Cuban Style.
In their performances, you can expect to hear Cuban classics as played by the Buenavista Social Club Cuban Orchestra, Benny More, Miguel Matamoros, and many of the greatest Cuban hits of all times.
They mix these Cuban classics with original Cuban arrangements of hits by Elvis Presley, Ray Charles, Bob Dylan, Steve Wonder, Michael Jackson, The Beatles, Sting, Joe Cocker, Oasis, and Ed Sheeran among others.
If you fancy something unique, refreshing, and special for your venue, we are the 'Cuban Band Plus…' that you are looking for!
The audience will be so delighted with our catchy rhythms that no one will be able to resist dancing to the band.
Your guests will love being involved in our show, singing along, clapping their hands, and playing minor percussion instruments with us on stage... fun and entertainment are guaranteed!
When The Chan Chan Band performs, you better bring your dancing shoes to join them for a Latin experience full of rhythm, fun and catchy vibes!

What a brilliant band! We booked Michael’s group at a fairly short notice for our afternoon garden party. Michael phoned me twice before the event to check details and discuss our requirements. They arrived early, in plenty of time to set up, and advised on the best place for them to perform. The music was fantastic, they really involved everyone and got people dancing and joining in. They looked and sounded great, and turned the party into a great event. Thank you!

The Chan Chan Band was the perfect band for our wedding in every single way.
From making sure we were well connected in advance of the wedding and everything was planned out and ready, through to delivering an awesome atmosphere and party on the day - The Chan Chan Band were superb in every way.
In addition to getting our guests up on stage with them to play instruments and sing, they came up with personalised songs involving the bride, groom, family and friends.
They even led a huge conga line around the venue!!
We had many many many messages from guests saying that this band was one of the best they've ever seen at a wedding, and that they'd woken up the next day singing the songs they played for us.
I couldn't recommend these guys enough. They had all of our guests partying well into the night - 10/10 in every way

The Chan Chan Band were absolutely brilliant. Not only did they look the part, but they sounded fantastic and had the crowd dancing from the moment they started. Their energy, charisma, and interactive approach truly engaged the audience and lifted the whole event. A top quality band that knows exactly how to create an unforgettable vibe.

The Chan Chan Band came to play a corporate party event that we have been running for almost 10 years now. After using the same old band for a while we wanted to shake things up, and almost every guest commented on how TLF were the absolute highlight of the party - and we all agree! Incredibly professional, punctual, a breeze to work with and they made everyone’s night. Couldn’t recommend them enough. Truly a delight to work with and they helped transform our event.

My wife and I had The Chan Chan Band as the band for our wedding!
They were brilliant in every way, equal parts professional and super relaxed.
They arrived on time, set up quickly and were a complete success! The crowd loved them and their brilliant musicality, the level of audience participation was just perfect and they looked especially dashing in their suits. I would book them again in an instant and recommend them to anyone who wants to have a great event!

We recently hired The Chan Chan Band to perform at our garden party and they were brilliant! We felt a lot of chemistry from their videos online, but in person it was even better and the guys were incredible. They created so much energy and atmosphere; the guests were dancing nonstop. On top of all that, they are just really nice people and so easy to work with. We would highly highly recommend them.

The Chan Chan Band performed for us last Saturday and were absolutely amazing!! They arrived in good time to set up before the guests arrived and looked great in their suits and hats, which worked well with the glitz and glam theme of the evening. The band were fantastic in creating a rapport with the guests, which got them dancing during the whole of their performance. Everyone loved them. The band even got the guests singing, clapping and doing a conga dance. We have certainly found our go-to band for a great celebratory event and would definitely hire them again. They were fabulous!

Michael and team played and sang for us at a 40th birthday party. They were amazing, and really brought the night together! Fantastic value for money, I would definitely use their services again.
From the very beginning Michael kept in direct contact with me, and everything went exactly as planned. Great musicians, great voices, great selection of instruments, we were all still singing their version of 'happy birthday' the following day!
Can't praise the guys enough, we loved every minute.
A huge thank you to The Chan Chan Band!

Had the pleasure of having this Latin band at our summer party and, seriously, they were the heartbeat of the Soiree! They had an amazing talent for reading the room and tailored the tunes perfectly, taking us all on a trip to Latin America without leaving our backyard. Super professional, too, from setup to the last note. Their song selection? Spot-on and memorable. This band is the real deal, and we're definitely bringing them back for an encore. If you want to amp up your party, they're a gem you'll want to book! Thank you Michael and the rest of you band for making our party so memorable, fun and inspiring!

Michael and his band made the party. They were extremely professional (before the party I was already reassured by their professionalism and attention to detail). As soon as they started playing, the atmosphere of my party became joyful and fun, they sounded amazing (they play and sing fantastic and their sound system was great).
It was my 50th birthday party with a mix of people from a broad range of nationalities and almost everyone was on their feet dancing because their music and presence was irresistible. Furthermore, they made me feel very special because
they included my name in some of the songs that they played (it was all Cuban/Latinamerican as per my request) which was really fun. I would absolutely recommend them and would hire them again if I had another party. They were the highlight of my event (many guests of my party said this to me as well).

We booked this band for a corporate event to celebrate the achievements of our customers. From the initial booking, the band communicated well and kept us updated. They arrived early to set up and test the equipment, meaning they were relaxed and composed and ready to start at the appropriate time.The band were very accommodating considering our time scales did not go to plan. Once the band started to play, the guests relaxed and really enjoyed the music, many guests commented on how much they enjoyed the music and singing and dancing. The band made me as the organiser feel comfortable, communication was great, really accommodating gentleman. I would certainly have no hesitation in booking them for future events. Thank you for helping to make the day a great success.

The band are brilliant! We hired them for a birthday party at our house, communication was excellent from the moment of booking. A most professional outfit who made our event a spectacular success. Arriving in good time, they set up without disruption to the proceedings. They are all talented musicians who played a wonderful mix of latin music and popular tunes cleverly adapted into a Cuban style which got everybody dancing. A highly polished yet personalised performance that impressed everyone and we would definitely recommend them.

Brilliant show last night at The Nightjar. Thank you so much for playing the rock’n’roll requests for us to

We were incredibly fortunate to have the band perform at our wedding reception in Brixton.
This band is truly exceptional. From start to finish, Michael’s professionalism and communication was outstanding. The trio infused our special day with an atmosphere of sunshine and pure joy. They curated a setlist that perfectly matched the vibe we aimed to create, getting our guests dancing straight after the ceremony with their infectious, uplifting energy.
If you’re searching for a band that brings smiles to everyone’s faces and adds a touch of Latin flair, look no further. We are now just looking for an excuse to have another party so we can hire them again!

The band did a superb job entertaining our family for my mother’s surprise birthday party. they were extremely amenable to my mom’s wishes - knowing all of her songs and adjusting their set list to cope. I’d highly recommend them to anyone looking for a way to get the party going and people dancing.

More than just a Cuban Band... Highly recommended!
We wanted this band for our wedding since we are really into Cuban Music and fancied something special and a bit
different from the conventional Cuban Bands around London. Our guests loved the way the singer got the crowd involved in the show with his interactive games; getting us to clap our hands, play percussion instruments - maracas and others, and singing very well-known English classics. Thank you very much for helping make our wedding so memorable.
