Orquesta Manplesa brought down the house, such talented and professional young musicians. Coordination was excellent, they were responsive and professional and able to set up on a ...
stage with a very small footprint. They learned our song for our first dance and kept the energy up all night! Our friends and family were blown away, fue un baile inolvidable.

The band was phenomenal! We danced all night long and friends talked about them for days afterwards. Can’t wait to hear them play again!
