The Susie Hansen Latin Band is a popular and well-known Southern California band playing more than 100 weddings, special events, concerts and festivals every year. Our specialty is Latin dance music - salsa, cumbia, merengue, bachata, bolero, and cha cha cha.  If you'd like pop music, we can also play disco, swing, R&B, funk, Motown, classic rock and jazz standards (like Frank Sinatra).

We have three terrific lead singers -- our vocalist/conga player who sings lead on all the Latin styles; Susie on electric violin and bilingual vocals; our electric guitarist who sings lead vocals in English. In our six-piece band, we also have keyboards, bass, and drums/vocals.  In our bigger-sized bands, we add a horn section, more percussion and another singer.

Our six-piece band is a great dance band, and very reasonably priced. For a larger and more elaborate event, we can use up to a ten-piece band.  If your wedding is smaller and more intimate, we suggest our trio or quartet -- lead vocalist/conga player; violin/vocalist; keyboard/left-hand bass; and drums/vocalist.

Susie and the band have received many wonderful reviews from the media.  According to Don Heckman of the Los
