Ola Fresca is a recurring wave of some of the best and most versatile musicians in the NY Latin scene and beyond, led by Jose Conde (pictured) on vocals and other gadgets.

Grupo Fantasma knits together the rural with the urban, and melds Anglo, Afro, and Latino influences into a hard-hitting blend that will keep you dancing all night. Their last CD, the Grammy-nominated "Sonidos Gold" (2008), further trademarks the ensemble’s innovative sound. Their new album, El Existential, will be released on May 11.
