Welcome to the website of ORQUESTA LA ROMANA!!! Voted BEST SALSA ORCHESTRA by the Washington, D.C. SALSA public 5 years in a row, Orquesta La Romana is the real deal when it comes to salsa swing. Known for its' innovative style and stage presence, Orquesta La Romana is the dancers choice at any activity. Together since 1985, established by Edwin Ortiz and Mauricio Rivas, the band actually ended its' first run in 1987. After a two year break, the band was re-established in 1989 and has been providing the Washington, D.C. metro area with SALSA DURA ever since. Currently in its' 19th year, (our anniversary is in November), and boasting the longest history of any Latin Band in Washington, D.C., La Romana is here to stay!
The band has shared the stage with some of the greatest acts in Latin Music history.
