Color Latino began its music career on July 20, 2003, at “the Latin Fiesta Festival,” Durham, NC. This event was of such great impact that it brought  lots of contracts and invitations to perform on future events.

One of them was “Cuban Cool,”  which took place in the North Carolina Museum of Art, in Raleigh, NC on  August 28, 2003. They played a great variety of genre such as salsa, merengue, bosanova, jazz, reggae, cumbia, mambo and bachata.  This was a memorable night where the rhythm of the music was so delightful, the harmony was so perfect, the tuning of 4-40, and the atmosphere among the members of the band was so unisonous, that  there was not a soul that couldn’t yield itself to its beat.  It was very gratifying to contemplate how the objective of the group was being carried out.

 COLOR Latino is firmly convinced that its impact on the Hispanic community is of big proportions, for when sending a positive and different message through music, in a state as North Carolina, where Hispanics are the largest minority, and the language barrier still constitutes a great challenge, it contributes a grain of sand in bridging a portion of this gap. The one thing that is needed is that others, equally capable, join with the same vision and intention of helping, to achieve an effective communication to every level of the social strata.
