About LPT (@SomosLPT):

LPT is a 10-piece orchestra delivering salsa and Afro-Cuban music with their high-energy live shows. The group came together with the mission of keeping legit 'Descarga' salsa alive.

Formed in 2015, the crew realized that playing salsa music was a way to share the diversity of the area with a new, young audience, while still giving the seasoned salsa veterans a taste of that old school.
