Back to World Music Inka Jam
 Tula's Room Magia del Bosque Core members of Inka Jam. Luciana Proaño, JB Butler and Tito Amaya Inka Jam's music includes originals from the band members and some traditional covers in a variety of styles with an Andean flare. Many of the pieces also include a dance performance in traditional costume. We play Huaynos, Cumbia, Salsa, Boleros, Trova and Afro-Peruvian. A lot of 6/8 and syncopated rhythms which usually draw the crowd to dance. Due to the novelty of certain rhythms we usually step out to teach the crowd some basic steps and then involve them in the dancing. Most of the songs have lyrics and we encourage audience participation in the choruses or the people might just sing along the whole song. Rather than a distant concert this is a trans-formative musical experience.

Great duo!

Our guests loved Inka Jam! We received so many compliments about them. Very talented and friendly people. Luciana's dancing was a big hit!

Latin Band Response from Inka Jam:

Thank you!!! We loved performing for you. Your event was wonderfully well organized and the setting was beautiful. Looking forward to more! Thanks Katie for hiring us and thanks Gig Salad for making the connection.







We present a show that has 45-60 minute sets with 15 minute breaks in between. Each set can have a theme. Themes can be based on a country, based on the character of the songs (for instance, slow background music for while people are dining, more up front music for dancing). We dress in beautiful traditional costume. We can take you on a journey of all of South and Central America.

Luciana Proaño; dancer percussionist from Peru with extensive career in Europe, Mexico and South America.

JB Butler, long time Jazz, Blues, Electronic and Latin guitarist, Fulbright Scholar.
