About VibraSÓN

VibraSÓN (est. 2013) based in the San Francisco Bay Area, brings the hip sounds of the Latin vibraphone. VibraSÓN is one of the Bay Area's hottest salsa/mambo/Latin bands playing both classic and contemporary Salsa and Latin Jazz music that dancers and audiences both appreciate. VibraSÓN's music respects and honors the old -classic salsa from the Boogaloo era of the 1960s- while adding a contemporary feel to the sound, with dancers in mind. The vibraphone-centric format echoes the sounds of an era of Latin Music where big bands gave way to smaller and hipper club-sized ensembles. The smoothness of the vibraphone embraces the intimacy of a compact group that connects with its surroundings in clubs with dancers practically on top of the stage. Swing is king in these settings, and VibraSÓN glorifies the tightness of a band made up of percussion instruments, adding the vocal character of modern songs.
