Austin's newest and truest salsa band, O Positivo blends salsa standards with classic son, mambo, and modern cuban timba. With the recent additions of piano, timbales, and seasoned veteran Christian Fernandez (bass) to the mix, O Positivo continues to grow into a driving force in Austin's latin music scene. Come dance with us every other wednesday at Speakeasy.

Noooo! I won't be able to make it to Speakeasy tomorrow since I am in Dallas. Are you going to be playing there on the 19th? If you are, I hope to see you then.
Fantastic music!! Oh, and I'm inventing a salsa patch for those salsaholics who need a little extra during the downtime. I'm wearing one right now. Yum, I can taste the clave.
