Salsa Celtica burst onto the scene in 1995 in the bars and clubs of Edinburgh and Glasgow. They were an immediate hit with the locals and the newly arrived Hispanic community. After recording their debut album Monstruos y Demonios and a tour of Scotland's village halls, the band headed to Cuba to soak up Afro-Cuban sounds in Havana and Santiago de Cuba. Following on from a sensational breakthrough in 2003 when El Agua De La Vida reached number 5 on the World Music Chart of Europe, the band's performance at Celtic Connections in January 2004 was broadcast on BBC4.

Fusing fiery, exuberant Latin rhythms with the whirl and skirl of Scottish folk music, Salsa Celtica have carved out their own musical niche. On a full UK tour, promoting their new album, El Camino, this big (11-piece!) band with a huge sound will leave you breathless.
" Like a potent cocktail of Scottish whisky and Cuban rum, a steamy Havana ceilidh driven by an irresistible beat." DIRTY LINEN
