Employing jazz harmonic sensibility and a deep-seated love of diverse cultures, De La Buena explores the textures and rhythms of Latin musics of the Americas with roots planted firmly in African Diasporic traditions.... a sophisticated Latin dance band if you will, and we know you will. Whether you are a listener or a dancer, De La Buena has got something for you.

The first two tracks on my page were written with my close friend Paul Dominguez who just passed away tragically on his 32nd birthday. He also played bass and rhythm guitar on Country Jamboree. Stop by and enjoy the music. Thanks, Brian
Thank you for the great shows at Summer Sounds and River Rhythms. Your music is so inspiring that even an injured woman in a neck brace can move to the groove. *wink* Of course, a bottle of wine helps too! Keep spreading the sound! :) Lynne
