About The Band...
Entre Amigos (Among Friends) are a hard and funky two trombone-led salsa group based in Brooklyn, presided over by the formidable figure of Willie Villegas. A multifaceted individual, besides co-leading Entre Amigos, playing timbales with them and producing their albums, Willie hosts the cable TV show Salsa En La Calle. No newcomer to the US salsa scene, Willie has played with such luminaries as Joe Quijano, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri, Frankie Ruiz, Lalo Rodríguez, Tito Puente, José Fajardo and Paquito Guzmán.

Entre Amigos is an appropriate name for a group of talented Brooklyn born musicians who compliment each other with their versatile playing and giving that extra added attraction to a live show.
