Rumba Libra Band

Rumba Libre Band was formed in 2008 by Coco Garcia and friends who have been playing their hearts out for over 15 years with some of the best salsa, jazz, soul, and party bands from all over the world.

Since living in Salt Lake City, “Coco” Garcia has performed and toured many states and countries and has also performed with famous singers such as Gloria Estefan, Lalo Rodriguez, Oscar de Leon, Tito Gomez, Maelo Ruiz, and Poncho Sanchez and recorded songs for Konami Studios where he featured one of his songs (La Receta) in their video game “Dance Revolution – Hottest Dance 3”. Coco has also performed with Gloria Estefan in the 2002 Winter Olympic closing ceremonies in Salt Lake City, opened a show for Dave Matthews Band at Olympic Plaza with Mambo Jumbo Band, toured Europe in 2004 with Orquesta Latinos as their main singer on a 30-day tour for the US Air Force, and performed in five European countries.

Rumba Libre Band has its roots planted firmly in salsa, latin jazz and Afro-Cuban music. Since forming in 2008, the group has developed into an extraordinarily tight and musically creative unit. Based in Salt Lake City, the group has built a local fan base that attracts many salsa dancers.

“I put together an All-star band, combining the best players in Salt Lake City with an exciting and unique style that delivers the best salsa and Latin jazz music in the whole state of Utah, Idaho and Wyoming region.”
