Des Moines Latin Band 1
This Des Moines Latin Band is one of the Midwest's most distinctive Latin combos. They are a professional and polished 6-piece group with a unique sound that is remarkably adaptable for any event or venue.
Des Moines Latin Band repertoire
The band's Brazilian-influenced and vocal-charged repertoire includes bossas, sambas, cha-cha-chas, merengues, boleros and other traditional Latin rhythms, as well as traditional swing and big-band-style standards, contemporary hits, romantic ballads and red-hot jazz.
