This incredibly fun band is how it might sound if Stevie Wonder had spent a year living in Jamaica.
Conga & Co. brings extensive live event experience, and its members are pro-level musicians with regional and national tours under their belts. The band works with event planners and clients to customize each show in order to create memorable experiences for every audience. The band plays a mix of award-winning, original Reggae, Latin, and Funk songs along with surprisingly danceable covers of popular songs done in a Reggae style.
With a soulful-voiced frontman who sings directly from his heart to yours, there is always a lot of love in the room at a Conga & Co. performance.℠

We provide our top quality, fully-contained PA sound system, optimized for Reggae music. The PA sound system doubles as a Spotify/DJ service before and between our sets.
We can provide a Spotify/DJ service before and between our sets, either choosing appropriate music for the event or workingn with the client to create a playlist.
The best gig we've ever done was our first performance after recording our debut EP, when we realized we had an uncommon chemistry onstage and we saw that our music and our delivery had moved both the young and the old in the audience. We've been dedicated to creating unforgettable moments for all audiences ever since!
We love playing events where we connect with the audience and put smiles on their faces... which includes 100% of our performances so far!
Please see our extensive gig list for past performance experience.
We are inspired by the vocal power of Michael Jackson, the intense dedication of Bob Marley, and the energetic stage show of James Brown!
We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up. We normally perform 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best.
We’re happy to perform outdoors, assuming there are power sources/ electrical outlets on or near the performance area.
We can learn specific songs before the event but we usually limit this to 5 songs. Clients are welcome to pick a set list from our repertoire or let us choose the music for them.
Our first-time clients are most often pleasantly surprised at how easy and fun we make the entire experience for everyone, from communicating clearly before the event to delivering an uplifting and memorable performance, customized for each audience.
