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!

We did work closely together with you guys to make sure you'll have a very special event and it seems it paid off! Thanks for your kind review and for having us! Vivan los noviooos!!

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!

We searched high and low for a band that could deliver the special sound of Latin funkiness and get everyone out on the dance floor. This is that band! From the first tune to the last, they were incredibly talented and thoroughly professional. Jimi was happy to chat through our ideas and make the night special and unique. Thank you.

:) thankyou so much Nicole & Gary, we were delighted to play at your fantastic event and very chuffed that you all enjoyed it so much, really our band kicks ass :-D and your option of adding our superb Cuban trumpet player meant we could go as a quartet and have a fuller, rounder sound for an enhanced experience :)
