From our initial contact to the night of the party, it was a great experience! All of the people at the party kept telling me how much they loved the band. I even had a neighbor ask me for their contact information. Thank you for making my sister's 50th birthday party so much fun & one to remember!

The live music aspect of both our wedding ceremony and reception were extremely important to us, because the bride's father is a professional working musician and bandleader and we knew we wanted to feature his music along with any other performer we brought in.
We chose to book Enoch to play guitar together with the bride's father on piano during the ceremony, followed by a full band performance at the reception. During the ceremony, they played a moving instrumental duet of "our" song, "What A Wonderful World." Their rendition captured the beauty of the melody while adding their own spin on it, clearly the result of putting a lot of time and effort into learning the tune well enough to be able to improvise on it tastefully.
Then, at the reception, the live band took the stage and got the party started with songs that packed the dance floor. Again, Enoch brought the energy on guitar and we can still remember the smiles and the cheers as our guests couldn't help but be drawn into the performance.
The music was a key element that transformed our special day into an unforgettable experience!

Response from Conga & Co.:
Thanks so much for the kind words, Gabe! It was an honor to contribute to the beautiful celebration!!!
Our Meetup group, "LA Reggae Lovers" (over 1500 members) organized an event at the Basement Tavern (Santa Monica). The band was a big hit, delivering a high-energy, uplifting performance. Lots of dancing!! Latin-infused rhythms, bluesy-reggae guitar, so much fun. We had a great time. Enoch gave us multiple shout-outs from the stage, connected with us during breaks, took photos with our group, and made everyone feel welcome. Highly recommended!

Conga & Co. made our beach wedding extra special!
We had so much to plan for our wedding that we really wanted to be hands-off for the music aspect. We wanted live music with pro-level musicians who could come in and deliver the goods.
Fortunately, from the very first email to Enoch, we were in good hands from start to finish. Given the amount of care, attention to detail, and preparation that went into the performances, it's no wonder that the music "clicked" for us and our guests as much as it did.
Our guests told us they immediately felt a tropical "island" vibe as they arrived, thanks to the instrumental welcome music played as guests were arriving at the ceremony. That's exactly what we were going for, because we got married on the beach! (It's the same beach where we got engaged.)
Then, at the indoor reception, the music selections connected on a deep emotional level with everyone in the room. The songs included perfectly chosen covers, originals, and even a custom song about how we, the bride and groom, first met!
If you want to book a band worth every penny, who sincerely seem to enjoy going above and beyond for you, then get Conga & Co.!

I hired Conga & Co. to play at our annual "Black Valentine's" event. The band showed up prepared and on time, and played a tight set of high-energy music which got the whole venue dancing. Their lead singer's charisma is evident, along with her fantastic voice and stage presence, and she kept the crowd engaged and entertained for the duration of their entire set. Additionally, all of the band members are clearly impressive musicians and performers and they each helped to keep the energy level high throughout. They clearly enjoy playing together.
I would definitely hire this incredibly fun band again!

I booked this band for a birthday event and it was a nonstop party. Conga & Company brought high vibes and big energy. Everyone enjoyed their music and were dancing for the full set. They really connect with the crowd. Would book them and go see them perform again.
