Latin Magic Band was created by percussionist Peter Castanon in 1989. Peter grew up in a musical family dedicated to entertainment. His mother, Lillian Martinez, performed with Perez Prado, Lino Rodriquez Orchestra and numerous local artists.
At ten years old, Peter had the opportunity to perform with his mother, Lillian, and step-father, Ernest Martinez, in a hot Latino Band that was a 209 favorite. From that time on, he has performed locally and nationally with top name acts. Latin Magic Band has opened for internationally acclaimed acts including: Zapp, Teena Marie, War, Malo, Tito Puente, Gap Band, Tierra, Pete & Sheila Escovedo, and Con Funk Shun...only to mention a few. You might even catch Peter performing on stage with his close friends in War and Tierra.
Latin Magic Band specializes in Cubias, Oldies, Latin Rock, and Old School. Their music is energetic and moving. The band's Latin spirit and soul literally moves people to the dance floor.
