The band’s book includes material from Tito Puente, Cubanismo, Willie Colon, Joe Aroyo, Jamaroquoi, the Brand New Heavies, the Brooks Brothers, James Brown, Tower of Power and Stevie Wonder.The Syndicate is a high energy group of well-traveled, experienced musicians who are equally at home in either a nightclub or at a private function.
