Alegria is an exciting, sophisticated and versatile duo with a Latin twist.
Lead singer Priscilla, vocalist, keyboardist and saxophonist Martin and percussionist Damien are all consummate musicians and performers with years of experience. They can provide anything from smooth jazz and ballads to dynamic dance sets featuring a huge range of music (see Song Lists) from 50’s rock’n'roll through soul, funk, Motown, disco, 80’s, 90’s and the most recent pop hits. Add to this Martin’s experience living in Spain and his repertoire of Latin dance songs, sung in fluent Spanish and Portuguese and Priscilla’s Latin repertoire and you have a fantastic array of music that will keep everyone happy. Ballroom dance aficianados will be especially in their element!
If your budget allows for a trio, Prisiclla and Damien can metamorphise into a Latin dance pair giving spine-tingling Latin dance demonstrations to really kick start your wedding / party / function.
The Complete Package
Alegria can also provide professional MC services, wedding reception and ceremony music, “Live Karaoke“, children’s and seniors’ entertainment and dance floor DJ.
Songs
The array of songs at their disposal (Song Lists) is simply awesome and you can tailor your wedding/function entertainment around songs you love and think your friends/family will also enjoy. They have a full range of slower ballads and jazz standards for pre-dinner drinks and dinner sets and then, to really get the party rocking, a full array of dance floor classics from the 1950’s to now.
Latin Dance Music
Then there are the Latin numbers (see Latin Dance Music) which are extremely popular at the moment thanks in part to “Dancing with the Stars”. Most people find these great to dance to - even if they’ve never seen the inside of a dance studio! For those who have, Alegria can provide songs in all the popular dance styles such as salsa, merengue, samba, tango, cha cha, jive, hip hop, waltz, rhumba and many more with the added bonus of a professional dance pair who can leap off the stage and onto the dance floor in the blink of an eye!
Top class backings
Another feature of this talented group is that Martin creates many of the backings live on his keyboard which provides amazing authenticity and versatility - especially if dancers are in the groove and just don’t want a song to end! Then he can switch to the saxophone to vary the sound for some Motown, blues or R&B. The backing tracks used are top class professional tracks usually re-mixed and edited in Martin’s home studio.
What better act could you find for a wedding or other function of mixed ages?
