BOOGALOO en ORBIT is a 6 piece band based in Victoria BC Canada. They have crafted a new, unique style of danceable pop music based on 60’s New York Latin Boogaloo; a very upbeat  fusion using Afro-Cuban percussionists combined with a Rhythm-and-Blues or jazz type combo.

Great for dancing cumbia, meringue, twist.

Their original compositions are funny, colorful, and at times profound. Their original lyrics are in English and Spanish. Their music has been described as “Aztlanian Surf Music” and “Neo Boogaloo”.

WHAT IS BOOGALOO???

Boogaloo is a music style that began in the 1960's in Spanish Harlem New York City and Los Angeles when Puerto Rican, Cuban and Chicano bands began to interpret Doo Wop, R&B and Soul music using their distinct styles and instrumentation.

A diverse ethnic mix.

They are popular with local events organizers, and have had great success all the local festivals such as Victoria Jazz Fest, Victoria Celebrates Canada Day/ Spirit of 150, Saanich Fair, Sidney Summer Concert Series. They are regulars at Butchart Gardens.

They are now taking bookings for the coming season.
