This band is from New York City, and C.A.N.I. is not just a name it is a “Philosophy” to Latin music lovers.

Hector Jr is a Latin percussionist who grew up in the midst of Latin salsa rumbas from the parks benches to park avenue, from U.C.L.A to the university corner of Lexington avenue, the sound of the drum was his first calling and growing up around excellent musicians was an inspiration in starting my own group (June 17, 1999) heroes such as Ray Baretto, Manny Oquendo, Orlando Marin, Jose Mangual, and Roberto Roena these were most of my inspired musicians that led me to create La Orquesta C.A.N.I. I also have had the pleasure of having the most influential and powerful musicians come through this band such as Jose “Juicy” Jusino, HarryAdorno, Papo Pepin, Pete Pagan, Rey Bayona, and Alfredo “Male” Torres, Dave Miller, Mark Miller, Charlie Garcia and Efrain Rolon.
In closing what makes La Orquesta CANI stand out from other bands is our unique arrangements, dancing, dress codes and our unique trombone power. We play powerful, we play hard and we always make sure our Philosophy is in front of us at all times (C.A.N.I.) so if you have chosen us to perform at your venue or event it is because I took the time out see if we are a great match for your occasion. Like I mentioned earlier this is not just a Latin salsa band we are an “Entity” in itself and if you invite to your inner circle is because we are the right fit for you and your occasion.
