Latin Nights, Metairie to the Marigny

The La Tran-K Band brings the exciting sounds of Latin jazz to audiences and dance fans across the city, from the Jazz Museum to the Saturn Bar. The Latin Night club staple is beloved by dancers eager to cumbia, merengue, and salsa.

Based in Metairie, the band plays salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha-cha, and bachata — the full dance-floor vocabulary of the Latin club circuit. Their regular Latin Night at the Saturn Bar and festival slots have made them a fixture of the local Latin scene.

The band played the 2023 Fiesta Latina festival at the Jazz & Heritage Center, the 2024 Hispanic Heritage Month concert series at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, and the 2025 French Quarter Festival lineup.
