The 11-man band was named “one of the all-time great Texas dance bands” by Pop Culture Press

With band members from New York City, Managua, Nicaragua, and Laredo, Texas, Grupo Fantasma consists of a versatile and talented cast of characters, including a double rhythm section and four piece horn brigade

Grupo Fantasma blends Afro-Latin funk, cumbia, hip-hop, salsa, merengue and more into an intoxicating whole. It’s a sound that commands the crowds to dance

Grupo Fantasma has been named the Austin Music Awards’ Best Latin Contemporary Band for five years running, adding Best Horns in 2005

The band recently played at the 2007 Alma Awards backing Prince
