La Influencia will take over Hobart next year for a rare (and hot!) night of Salsa and Timba grooves!

Casa Cubana are proudly bringing Afro-Cuban powerhouse, La Influencia to Tasmania 28 March 2026.

Performing original music, as well as the music of modern Cuban legends Alain Pérez and Havana D’Primera, the band is made up of some of Australia’s finest musicians, hailing from, and collaborating with, The Cat Empire, John Farnham, Ross Wilson and Christine Anu.

La Influencia will be supported by Tassie’s very own Son del Sur, the band that have been filling venues across the state since their inception in 2004. As Tasmania’s premier live musical group, SondelSur has a repertoire which begins around the 1950’s and reflects on Salsa traditions. Classics by Benni More, Tito Puente and Enrique Jorrin pave the way for famous Afro-Cuban Jazz ““ Descargas by Chucho Valdes, standards salsa tunes by Los Van Van, the Afro-Cuban All Stars, Ruben Blades, Cubanismo and of course music associated with the incredibly successful film Buena Vista Social Club.

Join us for an evening unlike any other – more details coming soon!

VENENO has been Australia’s leading Latino Fusion outfit since 1998. With a sound and musicianship like no other, this life-long brotherhood of Australian/Latino musicians push the boundaries with their infectious blend of Afro, Salsa, Reggae, Timba, Cumbia, Reggaeton, Hip hop and Rock. Veneno has also collaborated with acclaimed artists such as: Osvaldo Chacon/Bamboleo (Cuba), Aloe Blacc (USA), Cubanisimo (Cuba), Los De Abajo (MEX), and Havana Meets Kingston.

Front man C Major (Carlos Velazquez) dominates the stage with charisma and flawless vocals, adding his own mix of RnB, Pop, Neo-Soul and authentic Latin Sonero traditions. C Major was seen on The Voice Australia and mentored by Latino Superstar Ricky Martin and Pop icon Will.i.am.

Supporting Veneno is Hobart’s very own and much-loved Latin ensemble, Son Del Sur.

We will also have special guests El Moro and Angel from Buena Vista Dance (Sydney) joining us for the night.
