Los Sugar Kings

Los Sugar Kings is a Boston-based Cuban roots, R&B, rock and reggae quartet known for their dynamic live performances, rich harmonies, intense musicianship and ability to transcend genres with an authenticity rarely heard. In their world, respect is paid to the forefathers and traditions of Afro-Cuban Son, Salsa, and Rumba-Flamenca but Sugar Kings (named after a Cuban baseball team) also actively draw on influences from nearly every continent in their unique roots-rock-reggae repertoire. Every Los Sugar Kings show is an intimate dialogue between the band and their audience, with both sides communicating in a manner that is spontaneous, passionate, thoughtful, and joyous.

Patino Vazquez (vocals, guitar, tres), is a dynamic performer and singer who is at once approachable, intimate, and completely mesmerizing. Add in the African-influenced undulations of Mikael Mersha (vocals, bass/contrabass), the soaring, take-you-for-a-ride solos and harmonic accompaniment by Daniel Abreu (saxophone, piano, vocals), and the soulful voice and talents of Tony Curtis Hall (drums, percussion, vocals) and it’s impossible for a party to stop from breaking out, wherever Sugar Kings perform.
