Afinca&rsquo\;o \;is an emerging group of passionate and experienced musicians from the Chicagoland area. Staying true to their roots\, the Spanish meaning of their name\, Afinca&rsquo\;o was created to bring together some of Chicago&rsquo\;s most musically sound and talented musicians. Though diverse in their musical repertoire\, Afinca&rsquo\;o is most noted for their Salsa\, Cha-Cha\, Latin Jazz\, and even some Merengue performances. Adding to the group&rsquo\;s appeal\, each of the members have played with world-renowned Latin recording artists\, including Gilberto Santa Rosa\, Luis Enrique\, Victor Manuelle\, N&rsquo\;Klabe\, Frankie Negron\, Eddie Santiago\, and many more\, all of which help cement the group&rsquo\;s reputable experience. Afinca&rsquo\;o performs for all types of venues and events\, so long as they are able to share their spirit and passion for music with all those willing to listen&hellip\;and dance! \;
