Depending on the line-up you choose, the amount of assistants and the size of the venue where the event takes place, we will need more or less equipment. Access to electricity is convenient, but we can also work without in some cases.
The performance is usually semi acoustic: voices, guitar and bass amplified, percussion and brass (trumpets) acoustic.
If the event is very crowded or the venue is extremely big, we might need to amplify everything.

An international music collective, Mantequilla Tropical was originally born in La Palma (SP).
Our paths crossed and uncrossed in different music or life projects, until the summer of 2023, where the band kicked a new start in Switzerland.
Ideal timing is to arrive two hours before the guests , set up and do the sound check.
We usually play 2 sets of 45/60 minutes with a break in the middle, but it depends on the clients' needs.
We love to perform outside, if the weather is adequate.
We are ready to adapt to our clients' needs, ensuring the creation of diverse atmospheres tailored to their preferences. Whether it's soothing background aperitif music, a listening environment featuring jazz and chanson, or lively dance music for a party, we are dedicated to providing the desired ambiance.
