Description
With over a hundred weddings under our belt, Los Boleros is the Bay Area's most popular Latin Wedding Band. Fronting the band is Cuban super-star from Havana Felix Samuel and the Bay Area's own Zareen both on lead vocals. Compare our actual live videos and see the difference of a world class act.
In a time of modern dance music, Los Boleros stays true to the traditional sounds of an era when music was golden. Imagine dinner with Ricky Ricardo's Tropicana Havana or Buena Vista Social Club! We've done a ton of weddings and offer the classiest services available for your special day.
Acoustic ceremony music- This can be a duo or trio starting with acoustic guitar and tres Cubano but by also adding the upright bass. Of course we do a very nice "Here comes the bride" but re open to your suggestions as well. Even Jewish classics sound amazing with the Cuban acoustic sound.
Four piece cocktail hour- A low volume combo that is Latin jazzy but distinct as well. The tres Cubano and acoustic guitar ring nicely together acompanied by the upright bass and flute or percussions.
Romantic dinner set- The full band starts playing romantic Latin classics to take you on a journey like only Los Boleros can. Classic and traditional styles like bolero, danzon and vals (waltz). This is where you really appreciate the vocal power of Los Boleros.
Two spicy dance sets- This is where Los Boleros takes it up several nothes and you can really notice the intensity of the percussions. There is nothing like the afro cuban tumbao played on the upright bass to make your body move! Merengue, son Cubano, traditional salsa and cumbia with strong back up vocals and a smoking saxophone.
How about start them off with a salsa lesson? This works well when you have a lot of people that wont usually dance. We work with very talented and charming professionals that will get the party started very nicely.
Our fans claim that we have the best male/female vocalists combo in the Bay Area! Pay no attention to that. See for your self. Our videos are live. We are not lip-syncing, it's the real deal. You can hear what we really sound like and see how we really perform because its actual Live Television Footage!

- Los Boleros were incredibly talented and I have already recommended them to a friend for their wedding next year. The communication with them was smooth, they always followed through, and were completely accomodating when we had a change of plans. The members of the band really enjoyed playing together, they had a strong presence that they projected of having fun and really loving music. -- Sally W, Healdsburg, CA, 6/28/2008
- Los Boleros played at our New Year Celebration - a party of 300+ people ranging in ages from teenagers to seniors. Everyone loved the band - they sounded great and got people dancing to the latin rhythms. The salsa lesson was a big hit, everyone wanted to try the demonstrated dance moves! Feedback from guests has been extremely positive - people want to know when these guys are going to come out with a CD. Thank you Rudy and Los Boleros for a great time! -- Nick I, San Francisco, CA, 12/31/2007
- They couldn't have been nicer and our guests loved them! -- Dani L, Sacramento, CA, 7/19/2008
- Los Boleros was perfect for our corporate party - a very elegant sound. Their lovely tres cubanos accoustic instrumentals were played just the right volume for both conversation and dancing. Many guests spoke of how much they enjoyed Los Boleros. -- Julia F, Mill Valley, CA, 9/25/2008
- We absolutely loved having Los Boleros play at our wedding! They started with a lovely acoustic set for the ceremony and then kept the party going all night. The band really made the event special and had everybody on the dance floor...even the people who said they never dance. All of our guests made comments on how great they were.
I can't recommend them enough. They were very professional and I had no worries about their set up or performance.
Thank you Los Boleros!
Sarah and Adam -- Sarah B, Carmel, CA, 11/22/2008
- Our party was small and I was afraid we could not afford Los Boleros. I worked directly with Rudy and Los Boleros provided a four piece band that was just perfect for our living room!
The party was a blast and Los Boleros shined like super stars. Our guest were so impressed. My girl friend told me it was the best live entertainment ever! They not only sang and played with passion, the performance was like a show.
I am still smiling. Los Boleros, I will reffer you to everyone I know. You guys are the very best!
