Description

KINI KINI, led by singer-percussionist David Castaneda, is a salsa ensemble out of Southern California that’s all about bringing pure, live rhythms—salsa, chachachá, and Latin jazz—to the dance floor. David stays true to the genre’s roots while adding his own contemporary flair, writing original tunes and breathing fresh energy into classic grooves. The band thrives on interaction—many shows start with a dance-lesson warm-up, inviting everyone from salsa novices to seasoned dancers to join the party early.
