Europe Salsa Dance Bands: Mangéira

Mangéira is a variation on the Portuguese word for Mango tree – but not just that – it's also the word for a brass driven Dublin based band that plays the very best mix of latin music in town.

Mangéira

With an 8 strong line up of experienced musicians, Mangéira whip up their very own spicy brew of latin dance music…samba-soul from Brazil, salsa from Cuba, cumbia from Colombia, North American boogaloo (latin soul) and much much more. Mangéira have been getting the crowds dancing here in Dublin for over 4 years. Over the past year we've played around Ireland at various festivals including the LASC Latin American festival, Festival of World Cultures, Budweiser Global Beats Festival and Drogheda Samba Festival. Regular haunts in Dublin include the Gaiety Theatre, Club Ché, The Sugar Club and The Mezz.

Lined up alongside latin favourites such as Guantanamera, Oye Como Va, Cantaloupe Island, Jingo and Mas Que Nada, the Mangéira setlist is infused with the latin stylings of Jorge Bem Jor, Tito Puente, Mongo Santamaria and Hector Rivera. All delivered with a fat brassy sound that aims to get you up off your seat. To hear some of our music, click here or to get a full setlist contact us by phone or email.

Mangéira can guarantee a night of infectious grooves with a real latin feel.
