Jupiter Florida's Guanabanas Hosts Electric Piquete and Locos Por Juana in Noche Latina

JUPITER, FL – March 29, 2017 – Now well into its second year, Guanabanas Island Restaurant & Bar’s Noche Latina (Latin night) series showcases prominent local, regional and international Latin music acts on a monthly basis. On Saturday, April 8, series mainstays Electric Piquete will perform three sets of Latin funk from 4 to 7 p.m. during happy hour, and the Grammy and Latin Grammy-nominated Miami reggae / fusion act Locos Por Juana takes the stage at 9 p.m. Both shows are free and open to those 21 and over.

“We’re very excited about Locos Por Juana’s first-ever performance here at Guanabanas,” says talent buyer Matt Cahur. “Their brand of Latin reggae has earned them fans throughout the U.S. and South America, and we are looking forward to their energetic live vibe. The last time Electric Piquete played happy hour, the crowd was left wanting more.” Cahur’s marketing and promotions company Roots Music has been organizing and coordinating reggae events for nearly 20 years.

Electric Piquete, two-time Miami New Times “Best Latin Band” award-winners, fuse rock, jazz, funk, Afro-Caribbean, progressive and R&B influences with incendiary results. Last summer they issued their Singles Collection” digitally and on CD, and released a video for their single Cut Me Loose”.
