More about the Band-
LA EXCELENCIA is an award-winning salsa band from New York City, celebrated for blending the raw spirit of 70s-era salsa with a bold, modern, and unapologetic sound. Founded in 2005 by composer and producer Julian Silva, the group emerged as a powerful voice in contemporary Latin music, gaining early recognition with their socially conscious debut album Salsa Con Conciencia (2006). Their explosive, high-energy performances and signature “salsa dura” style quickly set them apart, building a loyal international following and leading to a series of acclaimed releases including Mi Tumbao Social (2009), Ecos Del Barrio (2012), and Machete (2020).
