Barrio Latino Hungría

Formed in 2008, Barrio Latino is the first Timba orchestra in Hungary. There were several musicians and singers working with the group over the past years, but with the renewal of the project in 2013, a new lead singer from Honduras, Mario Ochoa, joined the band. The band's music was recognized by Grammy award-winning sound engineer Michael Lazarus, and, as a consequence of this collaboration, Barrio Latino's debut single has been released on the USA-based record label Latin Pulse Music. Since then, the song has been played by radios and salsa DJs in more than 50 countries all around the world. Even one of the famous hotels in Havana, Cuba (called Capri) used the band's music in their promotional video.
