Grupo Fuego
Grupo Fuego, which translates to "The Fire Group," formed in the fall of 1999 as a six-piece Latin band with Afro-Cuban leanings and urban flair. They describe their music as “tropical music full of hot rhythms combined with cool melodies to the sounds of merengue, reggaeton, bachata, salsa, and balada.” It’s hot stuff. With a wide range of styles, Grupo Fuego appeals to a broad range of music fans, with an energy-filled approach to style and rhythm and a sound that’s ultimately inspiring of dance. Though whittled down to a core threesome, the group has a mass of shifting musicians in the line-up. With a spicy set list that ranges from slow-burning to crowd-pleasing dance numbers, these guys have taken local Latin music to an all new level. Continuing to grow in popularity, they’re helping put Cleveland on the map as a bastion of Latin music. Co-sponsored by the Hispanic American Student Association (HASA) in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month.
