Chicago, USA - The winner of February 26th Battle of the Salsa Band between Hector Sliveira and Willie Gomez will face off against Bio Ritmo on Saturday, April 16 10:30pm, at Hot house in chicago. Tickets are: $15.

For the past twelve years, Bio Ritmo has treated audiences across America to its own unique and inspiring vision of what a salsa band can be. Beginning with its birth in 1991 as a rhythm driven drummer's ensemble, Bio Ritmo has sought to connect with its fans every second it spends on stage and with every song it commits to record. With each of its first three recordings Bio Ritmo introduced fans to entirely different facets of its sound.

Embracing the stripped-down and straight-up street-wise salsa sound so rare in today's contemporary Latin music scene, Bio Ritmo's "old schools with a twist" approach is converting skeptics and delighting dancers across the globe.
