Flexible and Tailored Performances At Salsa Ithacana, we understand that every event is unique. That’s why we offer flexible lineup options to perfectly match the
atmosphere of your occasion:
Intimate Settings: For smaller gatherings or venues where sound levels are a concern, we can perform as a trio, ensuring that our music complements the ambiance without overwhelming it. If desired, we can reduce instrumentation further by removing one of the percussionists, making our performance even more intimate.
Full-Scale Celebrations: Ready to fill the room with vibrant sound? We can expand to a 6-piece ensemble including horns and keys, ideal for larger events where you want the full impact of rich, dynamic salsa music.
Portable and Outdoor Ready Salsa Ithacana is as mobile as you need us to be. Thanks to our battery-powered equipment, we can easily set up and perform at outdoor gatherings—no power outlet necessary! This makes us the perfect choice for outdoor weddings, festivals, and any event under the sun or stars.
