The Canadian Dreams Quintet is 5 members from Edmonton’s busiest Salsa band – Manny V. Y Esquina Latina. This quintet format focuses more on Latin jazz style music – boleros, cha cha cha, danzón, son and guaracha. As Latino Canadians now established with careers, family and music in Canada we find ourselves living the Canadian Dream. The set involves very well known Puerto Rican and New York (a hub of Salsa and its origins) songs. Expect beautiful montunos, percussive and vibrant sounds to light up the Yardbird stage.
Band members:
Manny Valencia – Congas
Alex Corzo – Piano
Víctor Sánchez – Baby Bass
Alessandro Cortez – Sax
Edgar Cruz – Vocal
