Banda el Gremio

Latin Jazz Band

On a cold day in August 2008, in the Chilean city of Puerto Varas, a group of friends attracted to Latin music joined forces and brought to life a band they christened, El Gremio, or “The Guild”. The band’s mission was to spread their love of salsa music across Southern Chile. 

 In time El Gremio began incorporating the sounds of pop, cumbia, funk, and jazz into their music giving the band a wholly original style with all lyrics and music written and composed by band members and reflecting their life and identity as Southern musicians.
