Corporate Event Entertainment is a broad category.  It can be live entertainment like a top 40 cover dance band, dance company or a broadway show.  It can be background music like flamenco guitar, a piano duo, jazz trio or string quartet. The defining characteristics of all corporate event bands, musicians and performers are a high degree of professionalism, a high level of proficiency and a great deal of talent and training.  Whether it be a solo guitarist or a 15-piece dance band, musicians for corporate events are judged especially strictly.  They have to look great, play a wide range of styles equally well, and have a professional attitude at every event.  Showing up early, using only high end equipment and staying very current with their repertoire of music are just a few of the habits this class of musician for hire consistently practice.

Our fresh, brand new, top 40 cover band THE REPLICAS, measures up to the highest standards in corporate event entertainment.  In fact they are equally qualified for both corporate events and private social events like weddings and anniversaries.  The core group is six versatile musicians and performer entertainers and MC.  They can easily grow to a 10 orr 11-piece dance band, for clients who love a great horn section. At all sizes they play a wide range of cover songs and styles, including 70′s 80′s 90′s and current Pop dance music.

They play such a long list of Rock, Funk, Country, Rn’B and Dance Cover Hits that they could do an entire night of country, or an entire night of Rock, or an entire night of R&B.

They are also able to break down in to a duo, trio or quartet for cocktails or dinner, and play jazz, indie pop and country standards and ballads.   It is this kind of versatility along with their polished presentation, superior musicianship and quality preforming that makes Rossi Music proud to be working with them exclusively in Los Angeles.

Authentic Japanese Music For Events

Posted on by

 

For cutting edge trends in cocktail entertainment, consider small, elegant international ensembles. One excellent choice is  authentic Japanese music and Japanese musicians.  This genre is perfect for any Asian themed event or international event, international cocktail parties or festivals.  You can either hire a traditional Japanese ensemble that will play authentic Japanese music or go with a fusion of Japanese with contemporary jazz or contemporary pop styles.  You can even play classic cocktail music with interesting Japanese instruments. Having a traditional Japanese duo is elegant and sophisticated, but if you want a more contemporary spin, the fusion of Japanese and jazz is excellent.
The authentic Japanese instruments called koto and shamisen provide an absolutely beautiful sound.  The koto is a national instrument for Japan and has been around for a very long time, but it is now being incorporated into newer music more frequently.  A koto flute duo is also a nice Japanese sound.  Both of these instruments used by Japanese Musicians and performers create a unique, soothing sound that will surely fill any evening with enchantment.
Traditional Japanese music is great for cocktail parties at Asian Weddings.  It is a great way to get guests in the mood for the night without being too overbearing.  Guests will be able to socialize with serene background music.  Japanese shamisen, koto, and flutes are the perfect way to bring original, outstanding sound to any international cocktail party.  Guests will be in awe of the exquisite notes coming from these traditional Japanese instruments.
For those who prefer a more trendy present-day style for your Asian themed event, the jazz and Japanese blend is wonderful.  It has more of a westernized feel, but the authentic style is still present.  Mixing of traditional sounds with western music generates stunning results at international cocktail parties.  It creates an unusual sound that will delight guests and make for lasting memories.  This is a fresh style for any event if you don’t want music to be to overwhelming, but still allows listeners to get absorbed if they so choose.  You can never go wrong with this style for any Asian Wedding or Asian Themed Event.

Live Sitar For Cocktail Parties

Posted on by
One way to truly bring your COCKTAIL PARTY music to a whole new level is to take advantage of the sitar’s beautiful sound.  Traditionally made in India as an acoustic instrument, the sitar evolved into an electric instrument in the 60s.  Ravi Shankar helped make the instrument popular in the western world especially after George Harrison picked one up and began taking lessons from him.  Soon after the Beatles made it popular, sitar was spreading to all different bands.  Their song “Norwegian Wood” was the first pop song in the Western world to display the sitar.
Although it is popular in Western music it has a very traditional and rich Indian sound.  Having a sitar is a good way to bring an international flair to your Los Angeles COCKTAIL PARTY.  The instrument is sophisticated yet simple and will make your cocktail party unforgettable.  This Indian style of music will spice up your party and create a fun, new atmosphere.  Guests will have their spirits lifted and their minds opened.
This is a cool idea for a Southern California COCKTAIL PARTY because the music is moving and completely different than what most people usually listen to.  It will turn the night into an exotic and elegant wonderland. There are several ways to include this instrument, including more modern takes or keeping it more traditional.  Either way you go, the captivating sound of the sitar filling the room will definitely intrigue you and your guests.
