    Admission - $6

    Latin band with a powerful, versatile and highly entertaining dance show that can be found performing their blend of Latin music at clubs, dances, conventions, festivals and private events throughout the Chicago land area.

    Banda Rika's music repertoire consists of Salsa, Merengue, Cumbia and Bachata. In order to create the spicy, jazzy sounds of Salsa and the tantalizing rhythmic percussions of Merengue, the band is composed of a 10-piece Orquesta and a two person front line. Banda Rika's complete entertainment show and versatility really offer a refreshing change to today's other musical choices.
