Pedro y María realmente increíbles llegaron temprano para preparar y recibirlos como una familia, realmente tan dulces y humildes y como la banda llegó también aparte de nosotros. Eran músicos increíbles y definitivamente les encantaría tenerlos de vuelta. Estoy muy agradecida de haberlos tenido aparte de la sorpresa de cumpleaños número 40 de mi esposo como uno de sus regalos. Los amaba absolutamente. Muchas gracias
Pedro, the director of the band, and his wife, Maria, came three hours early to set up like he said he would and the other band members arrived one by one with a smile on their faces. In my opinion it’s a sign of a good team of friends ready to play good music and have a good time. The party was a huge success. The band was accommodating when one of the guest wanted to sing with them and they also gave us the microphone to allow the birthday girl, my 100 year old grandmother, to sing a couple of songs. The band was professional and gracious and everyone loved them. They did a wonderful job! I’m so grateful and happy at how special my grandmothers one hundredth birthday party turned out. Many of my family and friends asked who they were and Pedro gave us a few business cards. Thank you, Orquesta Infinidad, for putting on an incredible show.
Forever grateful,
Patty

Bandleader Pedro Bullaudy has served as the driving force behind the Tampa Bay Area's salsa scene, delivering original arrangements, fresh energy and the best of Latin music repertoire. In 2018, he received the Florida Folk Heritage Award from the State of Florida for his contributions to the cultural heritage in the Tampa Bay area through his work in Latin music.
Bullaudy was born in Santiago de Cuba, but fled with his family. After settling in Elizabeth, New Jersey, Bullaudy developed an interest in music and began playing trumpet and studied with John Ware of the New York Philharmonic. He came of age as salsa began to coalesce among Puerto Rican and Cuban musicians in New York. Bullaudy began connecting with some of the now-revered musicians from the scene including the Fania All-Stars. He shared the stage with Latin music giants like Eddie Palmieri, Jose Fajardo and Hansel Martinez, Bullaudy began performing with the progressive group, Cuba Song, with Edwin Bonilla who is known for his decades-long run with Gloria Estefan and the Miami Sound Machine. He then went on to play and tour with the Cuban singer, Roberto Torres, with his famous hit and the now classic version of the song "Caballo Viejo."
Bullaudy relocated to Tampa where he collaborated with local musicians and introduced salsa to a wider Tampa Bay audience. He formed Orquesta Infinidad which was heavily influenced by the New York sound, and quickly developed a reputation as the premier salsa band in the Tampa Bay area. Orquesta Infinidad has performed twice at the Super Bowl, as well as at the Clearwater Jazz Festival, House of Blues, in a Netflix film, and in many local festivals.
According to bassist Elías Tona, “I consider Pedro not only a great musician, musical director and arranger, but also a great human being. He has made [Orquesta] Infinidad a cultural and musical icon for Tampa Bay.”
From the heart of Tampa's historic Ybor City comes the sound of Orquesta INFINIDAD. Their timbre rings true with the colors and rhythms of Salsa, Merengue, Latin Jazz, as well as an array of other latin musical genres.
For most situations, there are no special electricity requirements. The band requests two independent 15 or 20 AMP circuits of standard 100 power.
