Vicho's Latin Band ad Orchestra

Vicho's current Latin ensemble is a reincarnation of the original Casino Band, a very popular 7-piece outfit headquartered for four years at GENARO'S TROPICAL Mexican Restaurant in the Lakewood area of East Dallas during the eighties. The early nineties brought back the passion for Latin dancing, so Vicho reorganized his Latin group, this time updating its name to THE NEW CASINO BAND. Now concentrating mostly on private and corporate parties and a few prestigious club spots, the band is enjoying a new life playing Latin Jazz, Salsa, Caribbean and Brazilian styles, while making new fans and friends.

During Vicho's tenure as member of the Swiss Radio Orchestra (DRS), Vicho came in contact with many European music performers such as Caterina Valente, Domenico Modugno, Mireille Mathieu and Helmust Zacharias. He is always happy to recapture that Continental feeling playing French songs and musette melodies, Viennese waltzes and Italian canzoni.

Dance the night away to sensuous rumbas, syncopated sambas, cha-cha-chas and mambos. It's all delectable Salsa!
