Karen Rodriguez

• Suzzette Ortiz - Piano/Vocals
• Pedro Zayas - Percussion
• Juan Medina - Bass/Vocals
• Mariano Medina - Percussion

Unique and authentic, Miss Rodriguez is the real deal. Others may attempt to convey a Latin sound by singing a bossa nova song, but Karen is indigenous to Latin music. Her parents are from Puerto Rico, she speaks, teaches, and sings in Spanish. She is truly refreshing and sexy in her native tongue; exotic when sings a Cha Cha, but vulnerable when she sings a romantic Bolero. Seeing Karen perform live is like walking into a Cuban nightclub circa 1950. Karen can perform, for your event, as a quartet, quintet or as a multi piece ensemble. Her musical style includes: Salsa, Cha-Cha, Bolero, Bossa Nova, Samba, Mambo, Tango, Rumba, Cuban, Latin/Jazz, Guaracha, and Tumbal.
