Latin party straight from Madrid
Los Chocolatinos are one of the oldest friends of Babel Sound: some members were there at the very beginning 15 years ago, their latest performance took place in 2019, and now we are extremely pleased to welcome them back on the main stage of the Festival this year!
Their varied repertoire ranges over styles from standards of classic salsa, son, merengue, bolero to more modern rhythms like timba; well-known songs like Guantanamera, Son de la Loma, Lagrimas Negras or Oye Como Vá go alongside of more up-to-date ones to please all fans of Latin music.
They have been playing at La Negra Tomasa, a place famed for Latin music in Madrid for almost 20 years. Since their inception they have played in many clubs, festival and events all around Spain.
