I missed Latin Fest in Galt Gardens, Saturday, July 6, but caught a taste of the Caribbean with Latin Rev, who played the Slice after playing Galt Gardens.
I only caught the end of their set. But it was a lot of fun despite being short a couple of horns and Bente Hansen’s keyboards, not to mention Erica Hunt’s powerhouse vocals.
But Marmol Hernandez Eleazar and Victoria Officinalis capably handled lead vocals, with Ashley Thomson adding harmonies, though I didn’t hear her sing leads.
But they set a Latin atmosphere and the band had a lot of Latin flair, leading to an enjoyable night for the audience, happily showing their best Salsa dancing moves. I expected a lot more people for the show.
They played an interesting selection of Latin music as well as some R and B and soul.
