SONRISA: A TASTE OF LATIN
A Taste of Latin provides a musical journey from Spain to South America, combining a collection of original material with traditional songs from the Latin world given a unique interpretation. Performed by five outstanding professional musicians comprising Kath on vocals and flute, Liz on trumpet and keys, Ant on acoustic guitar, Wayne on bass guitar and Tom on cajon and percussion.
This show covers many Latin styles including Cuban Son, Tango, Bossa Nova, Samba and Rumba with a chance to either get up and have a go
or sit back and soak up the spectacle in an evening full of fun vibes, toe-tapping rhythms and heartfelt songs.
"Traces of Arabic, Cuban and African Music blend with Brazilian
for an invigorating experience"- Musician Magazine
What our audiences are saying about A TASTE OF LATIN
​
"Put together sublime brass, brilliant guitar and a laid back bass player - fix it together with inventive percussion and add a voice that so utterly befits the Latin American theme and you have Sonrisa. Buena Vista Social Club meets Kenilworth. We had a wonderful evening with these five fine musicians, enhanced by some slinky latin dancing in a sold out event this March. We are still getting enthusiastic comment about our 'Taste of Latin' evening three weeks on. Thank you Sonrisa for a night to remember."
​
"Skilled musicianship and a warm rapport with audiences.
The band's infectious rhythms had everyone up and dancing"
​
"Sonrisa came to Wark as a fresh breath of Latin American air - warm, vibrant and toe tapping. The whole audience found it hard to sit still as the rhythms of the music caught hold. A truly talented group of musicians who included us, the audience, in much of their music with maracas, clapping to the beat and singing.  And they had better plan in more than one encore because you won't want to let them off the stage."
