BEST CUBAN BAND I have heard in years... Even when comparing them to top live performances during our visits to Cuba, these guys are AMAZING!!!
My wife surprised me by hiring Los Boleros for my recent birthday party and they were an instant success with all of our guests. Everyone was dancing. Los Boleros brings a unique musical energy that will jump start your event.
They played all of our favorite Cuban songs and were definitely a huge part in making our event exceptionally fun and memorable!
We look forward to hiring them again in the future!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Lisa L.Danville, CA24Aug 23, 2021

We had Los Boleros play recently at our wedding reception and they were fantastic! Everyone LOVED the music and the band was gracious enough to give a short salsa lesson to the guests which was a very much appreciated.
Rudy was so easy to organize with and the setup and tear down was so efficient, I didn't even notice them. I would absolutely recommend Los Boleros for any event, they are soooo worth it!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Pritam S.Los Altos, CA01Aug 11, 2019
Los Boleros was amazing. Truly incredible. Rudy was an absolute pleasure to work with. They played at our wedding and were a hit. The dance floor was never empty and our guests had the best time dancing and singing along. Highly recommend for intimate or fun events. We loved them.

Rudy and his band truly made my husband's 40th birthday one to remember! I was pleased with how easy it was to work with Rudy on the contract and get him set up to come and play at the party all the way through the end of the event. He is very professional. The music took us away to Cuba for the evening as we danced, sipped mojitos and smoked cigars! Thank you again for playing at the party!

Rudy and the band performed for our 20th anniversary party in our garden in Oakland in September. They were absolutely terrific. Rudy arrived early to set up, and the whole group was professional and kind. They went along with our "theme," which was to have everyone wear white. Good sports
And what amazing performers! They kept the crowd dancing for hours. Great fun, great energy, serious talent.
I can't say enough about them. The following day a few neighbors stopped by to say how much they'd enjoyed the music - they'd sat outside and listened from their back decks.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - T. B.Berkeley, CA45Jan 29, 2015
I'd hear Rudy Furlan and his band at a few local clubs and events, and from the first time I heard them, I was blown away. The second through fourth times I heard them with my fiancé, we agreed that we would do everything possible to have them play at our wedding reception!
We hired Rudy and Los Boleros for our wedding reception two months ago, and couldn't have been more pleased! Our guests are still raving about this seriously talented and perfectly professional band. ALL of the wedding party and guests were totally impressed -- from the wide variety of Latins among our family and friends, to the dyed-in-the-wool gringos!
Los Boleros know Latin music and they know gracious entertainment with a lot of flair. They had a special "dinner set" and then two dance sets. The musicians were quite generous with their spirit, and they conducted themselves respectfully and with grace. Young and old felt the vibe and got out on the dance floor and barely left it during the reception. We boogied like crazy: salsa, merengue, cha cha, etc.
We went with the full seven piece band, which was totally worth it as we had a hundred guests, and the sound was very full with a great variety of instruments and voices that combined with perfect precision.
They arrived before the time they needed to be there, and they lent a hand with the other tasks that remained to be handled, even though this was beyond their scope as musicians. This is LOVE, and shows a spirit of friendship, community, and generosity that fits right in with our marriage and what we wanted everyone to feel.
When you want an unforgettable event -- and I mean unforgettable for all the RIGHT reasons -- you want this band! Mark my words, and I promise this! I have THAT much confidence in Rudy and his devoted musicians.
I knew I was in good hands -- marrying a great man that I can count on... and leaving everything about the music at our reception in the great hands of a band I knew I could count on! This is the life!!!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Eric B.Los Altos, CA72Oct 7, 2019
I have hired Rudy and Los Boleros for a party for my 60th birthday.. Rudy was extremely helpful and easy to work with on the contract. Rudy came in advance to set up the stage and electronics. The music was incredible and made al the party dance and enjoy the moment. Very good songs out of Buena Vista social club. The singer, the trumpet player are simply top class and amazing. the whole band was very friendly and engaged well with the audience.. I highly recommend them. we loved them !!!!

They are absolutely AMAZING on all levels:
Sound - such a beautiful ambiance with perfect music and voices. They are clearly professionals, and yet have a fun time doing it - even having cool jam sessions during quieter moments. We booked them for a wedding when the typical thing is to go for a jazz-type band, but everyone was blown away by how gorgeous their music was. It really set a luxurious tone to our entire day - also incredibly classic, like going to a high-end resort in Cuba to soak up the hot summer nights.
Versatility - they can do many different sizes and combinations of instruments. Rudy was great at explaining all of this to me - from having one pianist all the way up to a full 9-person band (and probably more if requested!)
Overall Professionalism - 100% on point. Rudy is incredibly nice and helpful, and they all arrived super early with their own team to set things up. They are not messing around, everyone on their team was exceptional.
Service - They even let our officiant use their cordless mike when our venue failed to set up theirs - really went above and beyond, showing that they actually cared about us.
Prep before the event - Rudy talked with me extensively about the requirements of our event, and ran through different scenarios with me. He gave us very good recommendations that ended up making our event an absolute success. He also gave specs for the stage we needed to rent, and was very communicative via email/phone.
Every one of our 120 wedding guests loved them. Many came up to me raving about their sound, and Los Boleros made the event so special. They have our absolute respect and recommendation!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Travis B.San Francisco, CA516Dec 20, 2013
Los Boleros played for our annual Thanksgiving Party recently. It was a lively catered event at a local winery, with more than 100 folks flying in from all over. Put simply, Los Boleros made the gig shine. We also hired a couple of professional dancers to keep the crowd moving. The dancing to those irresistible Cuban sounds went late into the night.
Everyone loved the band, and we hope to hire them again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
