Timeless Hits, Reimagined with Rhythm, Soul and 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.

What Our Clients Say

"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."
