Son Mayor

Son Mayor is one of the most popular and sought-after Latin bands in the city of Los Angeles. The unmistakable vintage and contemporary Cuban sound captivates people from all walks of life, and fills the souls of those who seek expression through artistic movement. This high-energy band performs for countless corporate events and special occasions including well-known premier salsa clubs throughout southern California.

Son Mayor began about 18 years ago; the heart behind Son Mayor started with a young teenager named Eddy as he heard Oscar D’leon for the first time on the radio. The sound that so captivated him changed the course of his musical career for life. Eddie Ortiz and his undeniable talent is the driving force behind the essence of Son Mayor; a humble individual that leads the artistic style and demands nothing less then perfection from his brothers Julian, Alfred “El Niño”, Georgie and the rest of his extended family . . . the band.

The success behind the music has led the band to open and perform along side top artists such as Chucho Valdez at the Hollywood Bowl, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz, Los Van Van, Sonora Ponceña, Oscar D'León, El Canario, Ozomatli, and Los Muñequitos De Matanzas, as well as an exclusive audience for Jennifer Lopez’s wedding in 2001 and an Arista Records after party for Clive Davis. Son Mayor however, does not lose sight of fans; the band loves being a part of everyone’s lives and making personal connections. Due to such success, this great musical group has been awarded numerous awards for their participation and dedication from various organizations including the city of LA, in addition to being considered the “Best Salsa Band” by LA weekly in its annual Best of LA edition.

Son Mayor’s legacy is one of passion and musical integrity! Bringing their very best to every performance . . . leaving the audience asking for more.
