About / Biography

Los Carosones are a high-energy live band bringing the warmth, rhythm, and elegance of La Dolce Vita to weddings, private parties, corporate events, festivals, and special celebrations.

Our lineup is a original live band from the past: two saxophones, base, guitar, drums and voice.

Our style is rooted in Swing, Mambo and Tarantella blending classic with a joyful live performance.

We can create a sophisticated background atmosphere, a warm acoustic set, or a vibrant dance-floor experience.

Los Carosones can provide music for different moments of an event, we are happy to tailor the setlist and performance style to the occasion, whether you want something elegant and relaxed, festive and interactive, or fully upbeat and danceable.

We work professionally with clients, wedding planners, venues, and event organisers to make the music fit smoothly into the schedule. We can also discuss technical requirements, sound setup, timing, and special song requests in advance.

With Los Carosones, you can expect live music full of character, rhythm, and personality, creating a memorable atmosphere for guests of all ages.

Thanks to the diversity of Renato Carosone’s production, the show plays many music styles in vogue in Italy in the second post-war period.

The show is divided into two parts:

  • The story of the mutual influence between North American and Italian music through Jazz, Swing and Blues songs. From Renato Carosone, to Fred Buscaglione and Jula de Palma plus pieces by Louis Prima: a testimony of the close link between the New Orleans Jazz in the twentieth century and Italian style at the dawn of the that musical genre.

  • The Mediterranean repertoire of Renato Carosone linked to South American rhythms: Mambo, Samba, Cha cha cha, Calypso, Cumbia. And also songs by other famous Italian artists of the time (such as Marino Marini and Bruno Martino) and songs by Xavier Cugat, a multifaceted Spanish artist and ambassador of Latin music in the world.

An exciting musical journey
from Swing to Twist and from Jazz up to Mambo, Cha cha cha, Samba and Tarantella!

What's your previous experience and how did you start gigging?

Los Carosones project was born as an original idea by Nino Milone, producer and singer of the band.
Born in 1979 in Catania, Sicily, he grew up between Milan and Rome; arrives in Barcelona in 1999 as an Erasmus student of Political Science. Immediately falls in love with the city, its community of artists and its live music, to the point to move there permanently. Taking the first steps as a singer, he made his teeth in the legendary reggae group Orquesta Surprise from Barcelona.

In 2008 he plays for the Italian Consulate in Vancouver with a Neapolitan formation directed by maestro Lello Milo. After seeing the explosive effect of Renato Carosone’s music on Italian audiences abroad, he decides to create a similar independent project. Involves the best art professionals known over the years in Barcelona: musicians, arrangers, recording technicians, directors, editors, swing dancers. It’s the beginning of Los Carosones.
