"Afinque plays fun, energetic salsa led by a stunning, lively female vocalist (Miriam Bernardo) Their sound is more a tribute to older styles, like Salsa Dura, which features fat, brass-heavy compositions characterized by multiple percussive elements and a less romanticized, down-and-dirty kind of style."

Afinque (Ah-feen-keh) is a hard working 10 piece Salsa Dura band that pays tribute to the sound of NYC's Palladium and Fania eras, and beyond.

The word Afinque is one of many terms used to describe the quality of rhythmic and melodic interaction in Afro Latin music, particularly Salsa. Of these terms afinque is the most important, meaning the band is locked in the groove. Our name is our aspiration.
