Our Band:

“Latido,” the Spanish word for heartbeat, drives the rhythm of our music — an encounter of percussive grooves, infectious melodies, and rich harmonies. This vibrant sound emerges from the dynamic synergy between Stefan Paolini’s pop-infused piano, and Lamine Thiam’s West African djembe and traditional songs. Both are heavily involved in the songwriting process, their hands dance together, Stefan conjuring harmonies and Lamine weaving in ancestral rhythms, whispering echoes of forgotten tales.

To this foundation, Xiomara adds her voice with melodies inspired by Spanish bolero and salsa, telling stories of love, longing, and evolution. The sound expands further as Vinnie’s electric guitar adds rock fire and echoes of his Italian heritage, while Elisa’s voice, born of soul and dance, offers a graceful counterpoint. Jessica’s harmonies add power and depth.

Each element, distinct yet inseparable, builds upon the other, blending into a groove that defies definition. It’s a global fusion, woven from threads of Africa, pop, and Latin soul, pulsing with the vibrant heartbeat of Latido. Come dance with us, let your heart join the rhythm!”
