Marsala

Salsa, tango, samba and gypsy music all turn up in a Marsala set, often in the same night. The Sydney band draws on songs from Cuba and Colombia, Brazil and Senegal, Zimbabwe and Russia, the Balkans, France, Spain and Italy, with the odd Tom Waits song, a bit of Italian jazz, some French rap and African township grooves in the mix. The aim is simple: get people feeling it and dancing. Each player has a separate career in music, from session recording and advertising work to original production, national and international touring, and film and TV. So you're booking seasoned professionals who clearly love what they play. It's a lively, unusual choice for weddings, office parties and private celebrations where the crowd wants something beyond the usual covers.
