Reviews of 1940s Era Musicians & Bands available in Faro

5/5 from 591 reviews
Photo of Banda Latina Music Banda Latina Music "Banda Latina Music is currently the Latin music group based in Portugal with the greatest diversity of styles, mainly cumbia, Cuban son, salsa and merengue. Working together for several years, the band is frequently invited, for its quality, to numerous concerts and events for various entities with which the group maintains a privileged partnership relationship. For various reasons, Banda Latina Music is a special group that will make a difference at your event. The band's sounds travel from traditional Cuban music to salsa, from Colombian cumbias to merengue, passing through other Afro-Latin musical genres. The band's instrumentation includes original instruments from these countries, such as the Cuban tres, the kuisi and various autochthonous percussion. The formation is completed by trumpet, clarinet, guitar, double bass and vocals. The distinctly rhythmic component invites dancing to these rhythms, contributing to the joy of the audience." Translated from Portuguese Based in Lisbon, Lisbon District (134 miles from Faro) Maria Fernández - Festas, Casamentos etc, Photo of Pugsley Buzzard Pugsley Buzzard "Who ever says 'they don't write 'em like they used to' should take a listen to Pugsley Buzzard's latest album Wooden Kimono. Buzzard is a bewitching songwriter and storyteller often combining groove laden or playful tunes with dark lyrics. Showing off his renowned blues - jazz piano style and infectious raspy vocals, Pugsley is complemented on this album by a top band of horns and down and dirty guitar, that makes for hot listening. ". Megan Rowe, Rhythms Magazine." Based in Braga (314 miles from Faro) 3rd November 2025 Megan Rowe - Rhythms Magazine Photo of Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing Pia Tedesco Vintage Jazz & Cinematic Swing "Pía is an authentic whirlwind on stage. Apart from her vocal excellence and the instrumental excellence of the musicians accompanying her, as well as the well-chosen repertoire, she has the ability to connect with the audience from the very beginning of her performance, and provoke the most varied emotions. A powerful presence, a tremendous capacity as an actress and her great professionalism make having her be a sure success at your event, in any of the formats she offers."
