Eli & La Evolución is a 5/6 piece Cuban salsa band which consists of some of the best Cuban and Latin musicians in the UK playing a selection of Cuban salsa covers of world-famous pop, soul and R&B hits, a selection of fiery original material, and some Cuban classics.

Fronted by Argentinian-Congolese salsa soulstress Juanita Euka, winner of the 2017 LUKAS Award for Vocalist of the Year, and Latina powerhouse Eliane Correa on musical direction and keyboards, Eli & La Evolución started out as a side project of critically acclaimed 9-piece Cuban fusion band Wara (winners of 2 LUKAS awards, sold out album launch at the Jazz Café and a 10-date UK tour under their belt), but soon grew a sound of its own, inspired by the modern Havana sound of large-format young Cuban salsa bands. La Evolución has been bringing the heat to the stages of the UK since 2011, including a 5-year uninterrupted monthly residency at Ronnie Scotts Upstairs and a 4-year residency at Coya Members’ Club, plus an array of performances all over the UK in festivals, venues and private events alike.

 

Eli & La Evolución is suitable for salsa dancing events, Latin themed events, weddings, festivals, parties of any type, bars and restaurants (in quartet format) and available for bookings via EQ Artists Agency at the following e-mail: adam@eqevents.co.uk
