About Sobredosis del Sabor
Sobredosis del Sabor came to life when a group of Cuban Teenagers got together after finalizing their studies in one of the top musical schools in Cuba. Coming from different regions of the country and with different backgrounds, they created a unique sound that conquered the hearts of Cuban Salsa dancers!

Some of their original songs rose up to the top of the Hit Parade in Cuban radio and television! Soon after that, the band was performing in the best plazas in Havana and all over Cuba. Sobredosis del Sabor has performed all over the globe including Spain, Italy, France, Angola, Ecuador and Mexico. Band members are diverse with the capacity to interpret different styles such as Salsa Band, Latin Jazz, Cabaret and traditional Cuban Septet.

The band’s popularity is quickly growing throughout the United States. In April of 2009 the band performed in on Univision’s Don Francisco Presenta and Despierta America. Both performances were televised nationally.

This presentation is supported by Mid-America Arts Alliance with generous underwriting by the National Endowment for the Arts, the Texas Commission on the Arts, and local companies and individuals throughout Texas.

MCAD would like to thank the Chamizal National Memorial, What’s Up Weekly, the El Paso Electric Company, the El Paso Zoo, the El Paso Fire Department, the El Paso Police Department, Juvenile Probation Department and Sunwest Charters for their support!
