Ke lo Ke are back! Live and dynamic on our stage for Salsa Tumbao Auckland 2025.
“Ke lo Ke bring the rhythms that dancers live for — Salsa, Timba, Cha-Cha, Son, Rumba
and more. Vamos tumbando!”
They lit up the floor at last year’s Salsa Tumbao, and now Ke lo Ke are back to keep the
energy flowing!
This dynamic 8-piece band will fill the night with authentic Cuban grooves — from the driving force of Salsa and Timba to the playful swing of Cha-Cha, the earthy soul of Son and Rumba, and the deep pulse of Afro-Cuban rhythms.
Led by Cuban maestro Vivio, Ke lo Ke bring a sound that dancers feel in every step — vibrant horns, rich vocals, layered percussion and an irresistible groove that keeps the floor alive. Whether you’re spinning in Salsa, finding your flow in Son, or letting loose with Rumba, this is the live music experience that turns dancing into pure joy.
After last year’s magic, expect another unforgettable night on the floor. Vamos tumbando!
