An NYC-based, seven piece combo playing soul with an Afro-Caribbean pulse, San Simón deliver original songs for the mind, heart and feet.

At the intersection of modern life and tradition, San Simón speaks to the average listener, who typically fills their mobile device with every genre imaginable. With no degree of separation between soul and merengue, hiphop and gagá or rumba and funk become, new sounds emerge from the musical marinade in our collective minds. If your song has both melodies, why not sing it?

The project started mostly for the purpose of working on some original Latin-based material. A small combo writing original songs inspired by folk and soul rhythms. The band has recorded a 5 song EP, “Talk To Me” in 2017. IN 2018 they released their cover of Stevie Wonder’s “Golden Lady” (available on vinyl 45 and all streaming platforms) done a merengue-based, rock-infused trip.
