The Williamsburg Salsa Orchestra is a thrilling 7-to-11 piece salsa group which plays dynamic, danceable bi-lingual arrangements of popular songs we love as well as Latin & Salsa dance floor classics.
With an ever-evolving set list that includes songs by Taylor Swift, Chappell Roan, The Black Keys, The Cure, and many more, the WSO has taken the typical salsa form and infused it with a completely modern identity.
And of course, we play the classics as well! (like La Vida Es Un Carnaval, La Rebelion, etc...)
We have two albums on all services, many music videos, and hit songs in the salsa world, most famously "Love Song" by The Cure with our video reaching over 7 Million views.

Yes.
We have played at Lincoln Center, New Year's Eve at The Kennedy Center, The Brooklyn Bowl in NYC & Las Vegas and all over the country.
Any event where we can make you dance and bring the excitement of 100% live Salsa is our favorite. Our fans always leave smiling and happy.
We have been playing since 2010, making dancers move all over New York City and the USA, and through our two albums and hit videos, all over the world.
2 hours prior to showtime, we would like to set-up and sound check.
We can play either one long set of approximately 90-120 minutes, or up to three 45 minute sets. Other options are available where different set times are needed.
Yes, we love outdoor shows, especially big festival stages.
We are happy to discuss repertoire with clients, and give a list of songs to select from, however most events want the "WSO sound" so we usually play our original arrangements, seasoned with as many or as few Salsa Classics as you like.
Amazing, thrilling, danceable, so much fun, "the best salsa orchestra in New York!"
