Camelia Bands

Camelia Bands is led by Roderick Camelia, a full-time musician and Berklee graduate based in Somerville, Massachusetts. The bandleader offers three distinct Latin music groups, each available in multiple configurations to suit different event needs and atmospheres. The Camelia Latin-Jazz Band performs instrumental jazz standards with Latin rhythms, including salsa-jazz, merengue-jazz, bachata-jazz, cumbia-jazz, and bolero-jazz. This group is available as a trio or quartet and serves as background music for events. Grupo Camelia y su Jazz Latino is the Spanish-language version, transforming popular Spanish songs into Latin jazz arrangements with jazz solos, also offered in trio and quartet formats. The Camelia Latin Dance Band specializes in Latin oldies and classic songs across merengue, salsa, bachata, cumbia, and bolero styles with vocals. This ensemble comes in three sizes—trio, quartet, or quintet—and is designed for dancing and lively celebrations. All three groups can be scaled to fit the event size and budget, with ensemble sizes ranging from three to five musicians.
