Nosotros @ Paradiso Santa Fe

Nosotros has been drawing music lovers to their distinctive Latin groove for over 20

years. What began as a guitar trio in 1994, quickly took on a life of its own,

becoming something that no one could have predicted, including becoming one of

the most recognizable and original Latin bands in the Southwest United States.

The band’s remarkable evolution over the years - taking on new members and

leadership along the way - has resulted in the 11-piece Latin music powerhouse it is

today. The group seamlessly combines a myriad of Latin rhythms with elements of

rock, salsa, jazz and cumbia creating an innovative and imaginative Latin sound that

is, unique, undefinable and unmistakably Nosotros.

They have become festival favorites and have shared stages with the likes of Etta James,

Gypsy Kings, Los Lobos, The Wailers, Roy Hargrove, Los Lonely Boys, Joan

Osborne, Ozomatli, Las Cafeteras, Flor de Toloache, Grupo Fantasma, Victor

Wooten, Dave Mason, Making Movies and many more. And, importantly, their new

music continues to be relevant, reflecting our ever-changing world. It also continues

to be vibrant, fun and, yes, undefinable. Undeniably “felt in the pit our souls”.
