Hi! We're Kabasa! - a big, live party band with a sunny, warm, brassy sound, mellow vocals and hot percussion. We love playing funked up Afro-Latin dance music and songs that give a 'feel good' vibe and really get people moving... perfect for Salsa or just grooving to.
Kabasa! plays music mainly from Cuba and Brazil as well as original songs. Our unique arrangements also have elements of Funk, Jamaican & West African rythmns, Jazz and smouldering Flamenco.
Kabasa! is based in West Cornwall and are of course able to travel. We're available for parties, Latin dance events, 18th, 21st, 30th, 40th... birthday parties, weddings, gigs and festivals as a full live band or with the addition of dance music mixes, or live DJ. Email Andy Lowe or text/call 07791 68 61 94 to chat about a Kabasa! performance at your venue (large or small), or find out more about booking Kabasa! and support acts.

Kabasa's Golowan gig review:
"Their music is the best mixture of warm live sounds with a very professional presentation. Kabasa! plays like an outfit which has been together for years and I can't imagine an audience who wouldn't enjoy one of their gigs... a really authentic latin sound."
Mike Sagar-Fenton, Head of live music for the Golowan Festival.
