"We booked Soneando through alive network for our wedding- we love cuban music and wanted something special and a bit different. Soneando didn't dissapoint- our guests loved the band and they exceeded all our expectations. They were relaxed and fun- and really got the crowd involved. Thank you so much for making our wedding so memorable.
Line up: 5-8 piece band: keyboard/vocals, bass/vocals, percussion/vocals x 2, trumpet, extra brass.
Soneando are a five piece band who play Cuban Son and Salsa with a serious groove.
Pianist Sara McGuinness sought out musicians with a passion for Cuban music old and new to form the band. The result is a powerful quintet with a far bigger sound. The band’s obvious love of the music they play is evident in the passionate and exuberant arrangements of Cuban songs both classic and modern.
The fabulous singer Yuri Moreno hails from “Oriente” the East of Cuba where “Son” music was born. Before bringing her golden voice to London she moved West to Havana where she featured extensively with bands.
Bass player Elpidio Caicedo is well known on the UK Salsa scene, considered one of the top bass players he is also much in demand for his fantastic vocal talents.
Sara McGuinness has been an integral part of the UK Latin scene for many years, working with a variety of bands and projects. Dave Pattman, Bill Bland and Emeris Soliare established percussionists proficient in both popular and folkloric Cuban styles.
The band play a range of Cuban music including “Son” from the 40s and 50s, as popularised by Buena Vista Social Club, through to modern day hot Timba and Salsa. Perfect music for a summer’s day, don’t forget your dancing shoes.

"Hi Gemma,
Thanks for your email - sorry it has taken me so long to reply but it was such a good party that it has taken us a week or so to recover. The band, Soneando were absolutely brilliant! They were exactly what we wanted and infact I invited my salsa teacher, Eddison who danced all night and joined them on the stage at one point. We were all in fancy dress as latinos and the whole night was a rip-roaring success. I know the band will get more venues from that night alone and we would love to know where they are playing so that we can all keep in touch and follow them like a bunch of ageing groupies!
We managed to transform our village hall into downtown rio for a night and I have to say without Soneando it would not have worked. Hope they enjoyed it too. Please pass on our best wishes and thanks to them. They were class.
Thanks again.
Kathryn Trueman"

"Hi there Seth
Just writing to say a big thank you to pass on to Soneando. They were fab and really made the night for us.
Lots of people got up and danced and it was so refreshing not to have a disco with the same old tired hits coming out.
The band were fun together and the Jesus was a hit with all the ladies - very appropriate for this time of year!
Please thank them on our behalf.
Best wishes and I know it’s early .....Merry Christmas x Jo"

"Yes Sonneando were absolutely superb. The party was a massive success, mainly due to them. My husband, Martin who's surprise 40th it was, was blown away by the music. He actually had an inkling that something was afoot but had no idea about the band. They were so professional, laid back and 'cool'(!) everyone has been asking about them. So thank you Sonneando for making the party a real night to remember for years to come. I could not have asked for more."
