B-Side

What happens when you combine the rhythms of Haiti with the exotic Afro sounds of Colombia with a Brooklyn twist? All of these ingredients give you StringsNskins. The band started as a duo in late 2013 with the purpose of mixing the similarities between Colombian and Haitian culture. Eventually the band grew to a 5-piece ensemble.

StringNSkins takes you on a journey through the African Diaspora in Latin America and the Caribbean, while also bringing together the different cultures by pointing out their similarities. The high energy sets include traditional dances, songs in English, Spanish and Haitian creole, and the message of unity.

The music of StringsNskins will elevate your soul.
