Chris & Amanda, and Gerry’s 50th

This weekend we performed at the lovely wedding of Chris & Amanda at Mythe Barn in Leicestershire. The wedding had a Spanish / Mexican theme, colourful “sombreros” and games for the guests, a vintage popcorn cart,  and delicious chicken burritos served by the venue’s catering in the evening. We had lots of fun and the bride’s mum Glynis sent us this lovely message:

“I would like to say a big thank you for performing at our daughters wedding at Mythe Barn on Friday 19/5/17. You were amazing. Everyone had a wonderful time and absolutely loved you guys. The staff at the barn said it was one of the best wedding’s to be held there. I will recommend you to anyone looking for a great band that can get a party started and continue to keep them on the dance floor all night. Thank you once again. xx ”

On Saturday we headed south, and after a brief stop at Warwick for lunch, we continued our travel to Chippenham to perform at Gerry’s 50th. She prepared a big marquee and catering in the garden, and although the day started wet with pouring rain, it didn’t dampen our spirits, and together with the 100 assisting guests we had an unforgettable evening of music and dancing!

 

This is the lovely feedback from Gerry:

“Dear Javier and the rest of the band,

Wow, wow, wow! I had such a brilliant 50th party on Saturday … I couldn’t have wished for anything better. Thank you all so much for making it such a fantastic evening, you really got the party atmosphere going, and kept everyone up and dancing all night. It was such an easy process dealing with you guys, from the first time I contacted Mark at Stormont, I will definitely recommend you to any and everyone! I’ve had so many people commenting on how great the music was and what a great party is was, so I have passed your cards on to them as well as the caterers and tent people too. Thanks again guys – you were top notch!

With best wishes

Gerry”

Alexa & Brendan birthday party

It was Alexa’s 60th birthday, and her husband Brendan decided to giver her a surprise, with most of her closer friends and family at the secret bar in St Martins Lane Hotel, in the centre of London. Lovely cocktails and drinks awaited the party, and Brendan chose Los Amigos band to entertain the guests, as Alexa loves Spanish, Latin and Brazilian music. As the couple have a house in Marbella, Los Amigos quartet was the perfect choice to celebrate, and we didn’t disappoint.

Lots of dancing and laughter as the evening advanced, we created an electrifying atmosphere and made everyone dance. After our set, the DJ continued the party.

Volare – Swing version

We have done a swing version of this lovely song, performing as a trio with a laid back vibe.
Recorded by Italian singer-songwriter Domenico Modugno, and Written by Franco Migliacci and Domenico Modugno, it was released as a single on 1 February 1958.
The song is a ballad in a dramatic chanson style, in which Modugno describes the feeling he has, which resembles flying when with his lover.
It has been recorded by many artists, such Dean Martin, David Bowie, and the Gipsy Kings (a version we also play in our live performances)
We hope you enjoy it!

Your favourite band

As the first signs of Spring arrive we are now receiving many enquiries and confirming performances for Weddings, Summer parties, Birthdays and celebrations. The weekends of the April-August are starting to fill up, with 25 performances already booked. Enquiries coming from Ibiza, Valencia and France give a bit of extra excitement, but we just love all gigs!

Meanwhile we have just recorded 2 new tracks, and the videos are being edited. We recorded a very nice Latin version of “All of Me” by John Legend that sounds great, and also “Smooth” by Santana which is already a classic in our repertoire.

As soon as they are ready, we will post them in our blog!

Don’t forget to book the band in advance whenever possible, although we always have some last minute slots, and contact us at info@losamigosband.co.uk for availability and prices.

Businessman, banker, industrialist and diplomat, His Excellency Ghassan Ibrahim Shaker figures among the most highly decorated personalities from the Arab world, and he is a lover of Spanish and Latin music, so he greatly enjoyed the boleros and romantic numbers of the band, as well as the Gipsy Kings danceable songs.
