Worldbeat Night: Cheo y Los Consentidos De La Casa

Cheo y Los Consentidos de la Casa is one of the best Latin funk & salsa band in New York City, produced and fronted by Latin Grammy winner Cheo Pardo (Los Amigos Invisibles). The band serves as the house band for a bi-weekly Latin throwdown at the legendary Nublu nightclub in NYC. Born from a love of vintage Latin soul and the raw energy of NYC’s dance floors, Cheo assembled an all-star crew of the city’s hottest Latin players to cook up a high-octane blend of salsa, boogaloo, cha-cha-cha, and bolero — all filtered through wah-wah pedals, space echoes, fuzzy guitar solos, and a deep, unshakable groove. The result? A psychedelic, percussive party that’s equal parts tradition and funked-out future. The band features Neil Ochoa (congas), Ruben Coca (timbales), José Benjamin (keys), Dan Martínez (bass), Fernando Garcia (bongos), Leo Gruber (vocals), and Cheo himself on guitar — a tight, fearless unit on a mission to put the funk in the salsa and the swing in the soul. This isn’t your abuela’s salsa night — this is CHEO Y LOS CONSENTIDOS DE LA CASA. Funk-forward. Rhythm-obsessed. 100% dance floor approved.
