IRE VAZQUEZ & LOS PAPIS

The project brings together Bulgarian percussionist Kalin Veljov and Cuban pianist and singer Ire Vazquez in a fiery combination of Latino songs and rhythms. The repertoire is exceptionally danceable and positive, featuring some of the most popular Cuban, Puerto Rican, Venezuelan, and Colombian melodies. The always-smiling Ire and Kalin infuse the audience with energy and Latino passion. During their first year, the band “Los Papis” had many successful performances for diverse audiences at big salsa parties, ethno-jazz festivals, and open-air venues. Currently, the band is recording its own original music.
