The act
Wedding guests can arrive to softer DJ music with a roaming saxophone through Sincopa, before the performance turns towards the dance floor. The trio combines a DJ, percussionist and saxophonist, with the DJ continuing the music outside the live trio's sets. Their repertoire approach can move through disco, rock and pop as well as RnB and house, with requests part of the discussion about your chosen atmosphere. A useful option for couples who want live instrumental moments woven through a DJ led celebration, starting around drinks or meals and becoming more energetic as the evening opens up.

Good to know
What to expect
The idea is that music never stops, from the first guest through to the last song. While people are arriving and eating, the DJ keeps things soft in the background, and the saxophonist wanders the room playing over the top, which lifts the mood without anyone needing to stop talking. Then the dancing part starts and the trio push it hard. Popular party songs, played to get people up and singing rather than politely watching. Upbeat and interactive is the whole speciality.
On the day
They ask for three hours of venue access before the event to get set up. Performance space needed is roughly 6 metres by 2.2 metres.
Set List
There's no fixed list, which is deliberate. Any request is possible, and they'll shape the music around what your event actually is: a wedding reception, a corporate function or a private party each want a different feel. Disco, rock, dance, pop, RnB, house and retro classics are all fair game.
Performance options
Three performers come as one act: a DJ, a percussionist and a saxophonist, with their instruments, microphone, sound system and show lighting included. Live, the trio plays up to 90 minutes, usually broken into two 45-minute sets or three 30-minute ones, and the DJ covers everything either side of that. You can also add a saxophone solo of up to 40 minutes, played over backing tracks while he roams the room and dance floor. Best used during arrivals or while people are eating.
