“Titirangi Festival Of Music 2015 were lucky enough to have Santiago Soul Stars perform... they opened for Nathan Haines and thrilled the audience with a group comprised of real heavyweights from the NZ music industry, playing a blazing set of Latin music covering Afro Cuban, Samba, Funk and Jazz... It was our pleasure to work with them and we look forward to a return visit.”
