Ive experience Strings multiple times in my life. Ive experienced them in weddings, live event performances, private parties and they have always been an amazing band that kept the party alive, and that played exactly the music that suited the party style.
Response from Strings:
Thank you Philippe! Its always nice seeing you at events. The positive feedback is appreciated .
I got to watch Strings at Kuba Cabana and the band's performance was amazing! They really got the crowd dancing with their music.
If you want to provide first class entertainment for your event, I recommend String. You will not be disappointed.
Response from Strings:
Thank you for the encouraging feedback Mrs Soeurette! We surely appreciate it .
At this party I was not expecting such a great ambiance, specially nowadays with the songs that you hear every day. This was the most clean and sensational music and vibe you can get.
I recently had the pleasure of having Strings perform live at my mom’s 60th birthday celebration, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment they took the stage, their energy was infectious, and the crowd was instantly captivated.
Strings truly made the event special, creating an amazing atmosphere that everyone enjoyed. I would highly recommend Strings to anyone looking for a fantastic live performance. I can’t wait to book them again for my next event!
I had the privilege to attend an event where Strings performed for t the guests. They were outstanding in their performance. I am a Caribbean-American and found that their style of music appeals to both cultures. It’s a Flamingo, kompa, Latino, jazz all with an african background.
I plan to follow this band because it did it for me, I am hooked.
This was a great experience and I strongly recommend it band to all world-music lovers.
