Big Smoke Brass is a musical powerhouse delivering heavy-hitting grooves with infectious energy. Since their beginnings on the streets of Toronto in 2017, the band has gone on to give hundreds of performances across Canada, all the while cultivating a unique, modern take on the brass band sound.

One of the most innovative ensembles in Chile, their compositions mix rhythms from the native peoples of the south of America, electronica, and contemporary music.

In the history of salsa, not all `salseros' have been male artists, and Marta Elena is one of the notable exceptions. A first-class singer, composer, percussionist and band leader (Marta Elena y Su Orquesta), she belongs to a younger generation of Cuban musicians who are happy to honour the island nation's Afro-Latin musical roots while looking for new ways to express the music that courses through their country's veins.
