SOULSA is a Latin band that plays a unique fusion of Afro-Caribbean rhythms and modern rock music. Hailing from Washington Heights, a New York City neighborhood known for embracing Latin music and its culture, Soulsa fuses elements of Afro-Caribbean grooves with acoustic and electric guitars to create fresh and exciting Latin sound. The band is known for writing songs with inventive vocal harmonies and lyrics that reflect the daily lives, struggles and triumphs of Latinos. Soulsa has played a variety of venues in New York including Nuyorican Poets Café, China Club, Southpaw and Gonzalez & Gonzalez. The band received national recognition when they performed for Telemundo’s “Hoy en la Mañanita” and in 2007 was invited to Finland as a headlining act to perform a 2 hour set at the 10th Annual Latin Music Festival “Frutas Tropicales”. Soulsa’s music has also been featured in the TV shows “Mind of Mencia” and The Travel Channel’s “Man vs. Food”. Two of their original songs, “Elena” and "Hoja De Papel", were featured in the independent film “Entre Nos”.
