Louie Cruz Beltran and his orchestra perform an extensive repertoire of music from Brazilian style and Afro-Cuban rhythms. They blend R&B, Salsa, Reggae, Latin, Rock and Jazz into a stimulating show which draws the audience to their feet and compels them to remain there throughout the evening.

Louie's ability to adapt his sound has allowed him to tour internationally and to work in many different styles with such great performers as: Jazz guitarist Mary Osborne, Pete Escovedo, Jean Luc Ponte, Starrfire, Nancy Wilson, vocalist Ada Maris, Brenton Wood, Luis Godoy Mejia and Mancotal, Johnny Nelson, Coke Escovedo, The Sylvers, bass player Billy Haynes, Tito Larriva, Peter Michael Escovedo, Rita Coolidge, Eddie Money, Monty Byrom, Ricky Heath of The Brothers Johnson, Laura Satterfield, Geraldo Tamez of the Folklorista de Mexico, and Chucho Valdez de Cuba.

Louie is gifted with personality and charisma and loves to engage his audiences with charm and humor and of course, great sounds! The crowd - be it small or large, public or private - will inevitably dance the night away and be asking for more!

Louie has also done wonderful work with students of all ages using music - its origins and history as well as sounds - as a tool to influence and educate young people and instill in them exceptional standards of learning and ethics. He is available to address classrooms in schools and learning centers throughout California to help the youth of our diverse communities develop visions for their future and adapt to the principle of working together!

Louie Cruz Beltran is performing regularly at the top venues throughout Southern California including appearances with his Quintet at the Four Seasons Hotel - Los Angeles - every Sunday night from 8 to 11 pm.
