Banda Latiniko is a Latin music group based in Thessaloniki, Greece. The ensemble performs a wide range of Latin genres, including salsa, bachata, merengue, cha-cha-cha, bolero, and reggaeton. The group's lineup has featured musicians Christie Bell (vocals), Juan Barrios (congas and vocals), Giorgos Chatzis (guitar), Vasilis Kyriakou (saxophone), and Nikos Lambrinos (keyboards, arrangements, and vocals). Their musical style incorporates both traditional and modern instruments, sometimes blending traditional Latin American forms with electronic music elements.
The band's first official single release is "Πόσο Λυπάμαι" ("Poso Lypamai"). The track is a cultural fusion that adapts a classic 1938 Greek waltz, originally made famous by singer Sofia Vembo, into a contemporary salsa arrangement.
