Los Más Valientes

Led by flutist Jessica Valiente and formed in 1995, Los Más Valientes brings together some of today’s finest Latin musicians. Collectively, the band’s resume reads like a who’s-who of New York’s jazz and Latin music scene. Its members have played with Chico O’Farrill, Louis Bauzó, Pucho and His Latin Soul Brothers, Charlie Persip, Max Roach, Orlando Marín, The Nelson Riddle Orchestra, the Kit McClure Band, Johnny Almendra y Los Jovenes del Barrio, Grammy-nominated Juan Carlos Formell…and the list goes on. Los Más Valientes performs authentic Cuban dance music and classic New York salsa with sabor, swing, and a dedication to tradition. From elegant danzones to gritty mambos to fiery salsa numbers, they have an impeccable sense of style as well as the virtuosity and skill to make it happen.
