Blurred Lines

The Latinola Project is the brainchild of Lisa Richards and Jihane Obadachi brought into being by their passion for cultural cross-pollination and their love of great music.  Conceptually, the project transforms popular western songs with a collection of Latin arrangements.   For example “Uptown Funk’ is given a Colombian Caribbean folklore spice with a Cumbia arrangement and ‘Stairway to Heaven’ commences with a sultry Bolero melody, finishing with a uptempo salsa swing.   For the most part, the songs have also been translated into Spanish, giving the songs yet another dynamic. Colombia being abundant with musical talent, forming the first band to give The Latinola Project it’s first breath was an easy task.  A 12 piece band was assembled  whose enriched diversity and love for their culture is apparent in their performances.  Expect hot energy, vibrant sounds, bright colours and salsa dance moves that are as contagious as they are entertaining. The Latinola Project’s mission is to give the audience a cultural rich experience whilst dancing in the aisles. 


The Band

Four talented singers head up this project, all bringing their unique style and favour to the stage.  Victoria Castillo with her soulful tones blending beautifully with Diego King’s rich salsa swagger.  Together with their disarming charisma and vocal prowess, Juan Fernando Sanchez and Lida Villamarin complete the vocal line-up.  And behind these Colombian vocal powerhouses are the bedrock of The Latinola Project, the band. Fabian Sanchez steadfast on the drums, Joseph Arango (trumpet), Joaquin Sacedo (sax) and Diego Yepes (trombone) forming the compelling horn section, Paulo Cesar, our bass man,  Jose Fernando Torres locking down the percussion, Andres Ribon on guitar Daniel Guitierrez tying it all together with his funky Latin piano sounds. This rock-solid 8 piece are musical pedigrees; all with conservatoire backgrounds and vast musical experience.
