Merengada is a 10 piece band, formed in early 1997, and based in London, England. Merengada's live stage show is the liveliest in Europe, modelled on the native bands from Santo Domingo, and with a front line of 2 crazy singers (Guillermo and Felix) and hi-energy girl-sax player Nina, the non-stop show leaves them and their audiences breathless and ecstatic!
With an international line-up of 2 Dominicans, a Mexican, an Italian and 6 top British musicians, this band has created their own identity and repertoire, with some classic songs, and many of their own salsa , merengueand bachata compositions, which are featured on the new CD, and have already been used on television (Carlton TV & Channel 4)
The line-up: 2 Singers, 3 Brass (trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax), 3 percussion (congas, guira/timbales, tambora/bongo), Piano, and Bass.
