About me: Ivette Fuentes was born in the town of Humacao
on the Eastern shores of Puerto Rico - the Jewel of
the Caribbean.
She grew up surrounded by music. From traditional
bomba and Plena to the sounds of unforgettable
salseros as El Gran Combo, Sonora Poncena,
Roberto Roena, Willie Rosario, Bobby Valentin,
and Hector Lavoe, to all of whom she attributes
her love of salsa music.
Ivette got started as a DJ in the San Francisco
Bay Area playing salsa and merengue at Amelia's,
from where she went on to the dance club
called Colors.
Both venues were primarily women's dance clubs.
Presently, she is one of the resident DJs at Cafe Cocomo, accompanying some of the Bay Area's
finest salsa bands such as Avance, Mazacote,
Anthony Blea Y Su Charanga, Julio Bravo Y Su Orquesta Salsabor to name just a few.
In addition to being a regular DJ on the San Francisco
Salsa scene, Ivette has worked with such well-known
artists as El Gran Combo De Puerto Rico, Tito Nieves, Larry Harlow, Roberto Roena, Johnny Pacheco, Africando, Ray Barretto, Orquesta De La Luz, Sonora Poncena, Jimmy Bosch, Plena Libre, Spanish Harlem.
For the past eight years she has been the DJ at the
annual "Dia de San Juan" Festival in San Jose, which
draws thousands of visitors each year and which has
brought to the stage stars like Tito Nieves, El Gran Combo De Peuerto Rico, Spanish Harlem Orchestra and manny more.
Ivette is one of the most sought-after salsa DJs in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond. And you understand when you see her in the DJ booth.
Her pride in her Puerto Rican heritage and the way she feels, breathes, lives,loves the music might make your feet move all on their own.
"Siempre pa' lante, Boricua, pa' atras ni pa' coger impulso!"
"Keep moving forward, Boricua, don't go back, not even to pick up speed!"
