GRUPO LATINO CONTINENTAL was founded in 1987 and has been performing in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for the many years.
The band recorded its first CD in 1992, hitting the top ten list on radio stations in Bogota, Cali, Cartagena, and Pereira in Columbia, South America. The music is a modern interpretation of famous Latin songs, but the group also plays traditional Latin music such as Salsa, Merengue and Cumbia.
The band has appeared in numerous musical and cultural events. Some of these include the Baltimore Arts Festival, The mayor’s Committee on Hispanic Affairs, the Republican National Hispanic Assembly as well as events for Johns Hopkins University, George Mason University and the Organization of American States.
