The Susie Hansen Latin Band is a popular and well-known Southern California band playing more than 100 weddings, special events, concerts and festivals every year. Our specialty is Latin dance music - salsa, cumbia, merengue, bachata, bolero, and cha cha cha. If you'd like pop music, we can also play disco, swing, R&B, funk, Motown, classic rock and jazz standards (like Frank Sinatra).
We have three terrific lead singers -- our vocalist/conga player who sings lead on all the Latin styles; Susie on electric violin and bilingual vocals; our electric guitarist who sings lead vocals in English. In our six-piece band, we also have keyboards, bass, and drums/vocals. In our bigger-sized bands, we add a horn section, more percussion and another singer.
Our six-piece band is a great dance band, and very reasonably priced. For a larger and more elaborate event, we can use up to a ten-piece band. If your wedding is smaller and more intimate, we suggest our trio or quartet -- lead vocalist/conga player; violin/vocalist; keyboard/left-hand bass; and drums/vocalist.
Susie and the band have received many wonderful reviews from the media. According to Don Heckman of the Los

Highly RecommendMy wife and I highly recommend Susie Hansen and her Latin band. Susie and her band made everyone at our wedding feel very comfortable, gay or straight. Susie and her musicians are all so talented. They are very versatile and their huge song list includes many genres of music. The music reaches all generations from millennials to octogenarians. Music is very important to my wife and me, so when we decided to get married the first thing we did was call Susie. We picked a date for the wedding based on the band's availability. Susie was so easy to work with and helped us in so many ways. She suggested the venue we used, acted as our MC, and she even learned a special song to which we walked down the aisle, "There's a Place for Us." It was a wonderful event thanks to Susie. An older friend said it was the best wedding she'd ever been to, even her own!
