Timeless hits, reimagined with rhythm, soul & served on ice with a Latin twist.
The thing is, most bands play these songs exactly as you remember them. So we asked a simple question: what if we didn’t?
That’s where we come in. We are Sangría.
Sangría is a dynamic four-piece band featuring vocals, piano, guitar, bass, and percussion. We take the iconic songs you know and love and reimagine them with a fresh, Latin-inspired twist—blending styles like soul, pop, rock, and reggae with vibrant rhythms and smooth grooves. The result is a sound that feels both familiar and completely new.
Our performances are designed to create an atmosphere—warm, energetic, and effortlessly engaging. Whether it’s a laid-back cocktail setting, an upscale venue, or a lively celebration, we bring a unique musical experience that connects with diverse audiences. With a bilingual approach and a deep appreciation for musical craftsmanship, we bridge cultures, generations, and genres in every set. Timeless hits, reimagined with rhythm, soul and served on ice with a Latin twist.
Santiago Valencia is a charismatic vocalist & pianist whose wide, eclectic range moves skillfully through Rock, R&B, Blues, Country, Latin and Jazz. Shaped by music legends like Billy Joel, Luis Miguel, Sting, Cole Porter, and The Gipsy Kings, he brings both power and finesse to every performance. Over four decades of experience have forged a masterful showman who commands the spotlight with presence & grace. The stage is his home — and when Santiago performs, his passion electrifies as the room feels every word.
Gary Lowry is a dynamic guitarist who wields classical & electric guitar across Latin, jazz, country, rock, and blues without missing a beat. His playing powers through with the spirit of Chet Atkins, Larry Carlton, and Guthrie Govan, leaping between styles like a player who's done it all. Six decades have sharpened his style that dazzles, sizzles, and surprises. Gary brings the flavor that colors our sound — adapting to every moment with elegance and fire.
Carlos Guevara Reyna is a masterful drummer & percussionist whose rhythmic command drives an array of Latin grooves with precision. Shaped by the artistry of Giovanni Hidalgo, Poncho Sánchez, and Tito Puente, he plays congas, timbales, bongos, on a custom hybrid drum-percussion set created exclusively for Sangría. Four decades behind the kit have forged a feel that is both explosive and effortlessly refined. Carlos is the heartbeat of the band—laying the rhythmic bed that holds everything in time and lets our sound come alive.
Moises is a mulit-genre & multi-instrumental musician that takes his cues from bass legends like Paul McCartney and Marcus Miller. His musical influences stem from people like Ruben Blades and Luis Enrique. He keeps the rhythm tight along with the percussion to make the music soar for a special combination of energy and musical expression.

"Sangría was such a fun band for us. We're so glad we hired them for our wedding — so easy to work with, and they have a great song list!"
Jeana Wilson · Portland, OR"They play the songs we loved but in a new and fun Latin beat style. We didn't even know those songs could sound so good that way."
Tom Bellings · Vancouver Chamber of Commerce"Our guests really enjoyed Sangría. They didn't expect their favorite songs in Latin, reggae and reggaetón beats. Super fun to dance to."
