Latin Expression, a.k.a. Expresión Latina, is not new in the salsa circuit -- this awesome orchestra has paid its dues. Created in Seattle in May of **** by composer/vocalist Francisco "Papo" Medina Sr., combined with his son, Jr. Medina, Ted Bowden, and Dennis Haldane -- all still active members in the group along with several other local talented musicians, Papo's dream orchestra was born.

Today this **-piece ensemble is comprised of * vocalists, * horns, plus a * piece rhythm and percussion section, making Latin Expression a powerhouse orchestra of Latin music that has performed from Canada to Los Angeles, packing clubs and filling dance floors as well as delighting festival crowds. Their repertoire includes rhythms from around the Caribbean including, salsa, cumbia, Afro-Cuban, as well as what they call "power-salsa".

Latin Expression was once described as "The Northwest's best kept salsa secret", a secret no more. With the international release of * Dias de Rumba the secret is out.
