I am lucky to have shared several events with Conga Cartel and it was a very interesting experience to share with people who transmit so much passion in what they do. They play with such passion that is transmitted to anyone who experiences any of their live shows. The harmony of the band is very noticeable, infecting any spectator. The fusion of so many cultures from the band members brings something very special to the music.
