The former music students (jazz) from Bern and Lausanne love Cuban music. For this reason, they founded the band "Buena Vista Capital Club" in 2016. They play every month at the Mahogany Hall in Bern and have also performed at the Stars of Sounds in Murten, the Buskers street music festival in Bern and the Festival de la cité in Lausanne.

Balint Petz - Valentino guitarist

Beginning to play the guitar at the age of 10, the Budapest born guitarist fell in love with Flamenco, later Cuban and Jazz music, blending them with ease and taste.
Using sophisticated harmonies on rich latino rhythms flavouring with the fire of flamenco is the salt and pepper of Valentino’s guitar style.
His compositions are catchy melodies, easy to listen, his performances are joyful, sincere and captivating.

Balint plays part of the new Mimo-Music album (Emerald). With the new ChanChan version where he created, played and recorded the most important elements of the song.

DJ Tony Salsacoleccion (ES)

DJ Hugo Leite (PRT)

Searching, selecting and playing music for an audience is my profession. It has been my full time occupation since March 2002. My area of speciality are the rhythms that compose Salsa music but I also work with other Latin and African rhythms. I have found in music and professional audio an intense passion… and I love sharing it with others!
Hugo Leite was born in Coimbra, Portugal, on January 6th, 1980. He is considered to be one of the best Latin rhythms DJs in Portugal being regular presence in the main events and clubs at national level. In the international scene, he is very
often requested for DJ sessions in Spain and France.
His DJ sessions are typically characterized by creativity and originality, combining classic songs with recent releases, in a ceaseless search for a positive and contagious dance floor energy. The pleasure and fun of the dancer is his main
goal. Good dancing songs, respectful transitions and a constant care to get the best sound are the cornerstones of his DJ work.
In addition to searching the best music for the dancers, he also develops technical audio work. He completed the Audio Production and Music Informatics course by the Riff School of Music in Aveiro, and the Live Sound Technician
course by the Portuguese Association of Professional Sound Technicians, certified by the Audio Engineering Society.
As a sound technician, he worked in concerts of La Sucursal (Barcelona), Orquesta Del Solar (Madrid), Orquesta Sonoridad (A Coruña) and New Swing Sextet (New York). He is responsible for several live recordings highlighting the works done for Tromboranga (Barcelona) and La Candela (Tenerife). As a sound designer, he prepares the audio tracks for professional dance performances (theatres, congresses, clubs) and for TV presentations such as “Got Talent Portugal” and “Got Talent Spain” shows by artists such as Pedro Sousa, Inês Gameiro, Nuno Pesqueira and Nágyla Galvão.

MimoMusic (Resident)

I learned my first salsa steps in 2005. At that time the music didn't appeal to me much. Over the years I stayed active in dancing, improving my knowledge of the dance as well as the diverse music. It wasn't long until I started listening to a lot of Salsa in my free time. Also, after a few years I started collecting music as well as teaching dancing. The preference for Latin-Jazz Salsa, Salsa Dura, Guaguanco, Mambo, Cha-Cha, Boogaloo clearly mark my path through the Latin world.
In 2018 I founded the association SalsaOn2Happenings together with Janine Pfister in Uster (Zurich). Since then we have been organising many events in the Zurich/Uster (CH) area. We are proud creators of the Chocolate-Mambo-Marathon, the MamboTime Salsa-Party in Zurich and some more. www.salsaon2.ch In 2021 I started in a small Salsa band in Zurich (Mambo-Chillis) as a bass player. Apart from that I play some guitar, conga, small percussion (clave, guiro). All a bit but nothing really.
Also 2021 I started reproducing music. Some with the idea to better understand the structure and construction of the music. Some, however, mainly because the music was very badly recorded in the early years, great music, but not playable at salsa parties because of the music quality: MimoMusic was the result: https://mimomusic.art/
