Frequently Asked Questions
What does C.O.T. mean?
C.O.T. means Circle Of Trust. Back in 2010, our band started performing at a venue with a small stage, in order all of us could see each other and connect better was to form a circle. After a while playing on bigger stages we started making a semi-circle and we like to say that the other half of the circle is completed by the audience.
What type of music do you play?
We play a wide variety of latin rhythms like salsa, merengue, cumbia, timba, bachata, ballenato, reggaeton, bolero, rumba, samba, samba reggae, bossa nova. Also we like to make some fussion with funk, disco and blues. We do play covers, but also play originals, you can check our live videos.
What musical instruments do you play?
This depends on the band size you select for your event. Regularly our band setup includes classic Guitar, electric Guitar, Drums, Percussion, Trombone, Trumpet, Piano, Bass. Additionally we sometimes add more percussion and brass instruments.
Do you offer the same concept of music but fewer musicians as this is a very small space?
Of course!, we can bring a 3 or 4 piece band for small stages, it includes classic guitar, percussion, keyboard, bass. Just let us know your preference.
We have a mixed audience and some of them don't dance salsa, can you help us?
That's our specialty!. Our repertoire not only includes salsa for very skilled dancers but also easy rhythm songs that anyone can dance. Additionally we can bring our DJ so we can mix live current hits with latin music. Everyone will be on the dance floor. You'll love it.

Do I need a PA/Sound system, can the band provide it?
The PA (Public Address) system projects sounds from instruments voices and acoustic sources to your audience. Choosing the right PA system is a key factor for the success of your event. If your venue offers PA/Sound system make sure is designed for live music, otherwise you can just let us take care of it. Please let us know how many guests you are expecting approximately so we can bring the perfect equipment for your event.
Can we use your sound equipment for speeches?

Can we make a walk through with the band?
