KANSAS CITY HEART WITH THE SOUL OF THE CARIBBEAN

This collection of Kansas City veterans play Latin music with roots in Cuba and Haiti.

​Whether playing uptempo numbers for the dance crowds or improvising a ballad in a more intimate space, Mundo Nouvo is a wide-ranging cast of talents interested in extending the rich music catalogue of Latin America .

VARIATIONS ON A THEME....

ORQUESTA MUNDO NOUVO

Fronted by vocalists Ramon Terrada, Jacque and Luc Apollon; this is the full-scale Mundo Nouvo.
Thirteen musicians make up this powerhouse unit that looks to stir your mind and hips. 
Songs include both classic Fania-era dance charts as well as originals that were inspired to tell the dance floor a story.
With a three drummers, four horns, piano, bass, guitar and a lot of great singing this is a dynamic experience that can move anyone.

JAZZ CLUB MUNDO NOUVO

Designed as Latin-Jazz combo, this version of the band customizes itself to anywhere from three to eight people to tap into its repertoire.
Equally adept at performing standards in jazz clubs to  new material at festivals, this ensemble searches for the endless possibilities of improvisation within groove.

Our most intimate-sounding  ensemble for the most intimate of occasions. This is a small acoustic format that addresses the great cancioneros of Latin America. 
From bolero to Haitian folklorico to tango, this version of Mundo Nouvo celebrates a long tradition of song craft for captive listening audiences.
