Latin & Beyond

What an amazing night we had. Come the evening I wondered what I'd been thinking when I booked a flamenco troupe but it couldn't have turned out better. Jaime was helpful with the communications and got the "tone" on the evening just right. Somebody said to me that they had never quite seen the point of Flamenco but now they get it: Aneta's passion for the art and history of her dancing brought it alive. I'm not a musician but it all seemed really accomplished: for me Cuffy's guitar solo couldn't have been bettered and Roos's sarangi playing is the best I've heard. The troupe were happy to join in with the party and we had the added bonus of Jaime and Roos staying on and playing for us beside the fire. All very special.

The Marakafoli Trio were absolutely wonderful for my mother's 70th birthday party. Jaimie, Antonio and Ivan were warm, responsive and accommodating, and the music was fantastic. I had so many guests asking me throughout the event where the band were from and if they could buy their CDs! I couldn't recommend highly enough and would certainly consider using them again for future festivities. Rose

We hired Jimi Can and Marakafoli for our British-Venezuelan wedding and couldn't be happier. We wanted a few things: to get everyone dancing, to get a balance between Latin elements and songs Europeans would recognise, and Jimi and the band did exactly that. You can hire them and not regret it - everyone was commenting on the music and friends and family who never dance were up on the dance floor. Everyone was dancing! Jimi Can and co are true professional musicians and have amazing communication in the lead up and are flexible and warm. They are extremely versatile so we could have a real mix of our cultures, and the songs listed in the example set is just a sample of what they can play and offer. The DJ services were also brilliant. Overall, the band was the best decision we made and we can't thank you guys enough for delivering such quality music for us. 10/10!

Jimi and the band were great, such an excellent and happy presence to have around for our wedding. Jimi was very responsive to any requests before the day and just generally good at reading a crowd and responding to them. You can tell that these guys are pros at what they do. Ivan also did a DJ set for us in addition which was great at continuing with all the hyped up vibes the band had created. Would recommend to anyone looking for a funky band for their event to get the whole family dancing!
