Louie Cruz Beltran

lending Afro Cuban rhythms with jazz, Latin jazz, pop and R&B influences, Louie Cruz Beltran is an entertainer at heart – an entertainer who is also a superbly skilled conguero, timbalero and vocalist. In short, Louie is the complete package. Variety Magazine called Louie’s Playboy Jazz Festival performance “…a triumph…a sharp, uncluttered jazz ensemble”. In venues large and small, Louie always connects with the audience with humor, solid musicianship and dazzling percussion work.
