James is BSM's leader and the yes/no man of the outfit. He speaks Spanish whenever possible.
xCongas, timbales
Alfonso de Peru is the snappiest dresser in the band and dances like a pro.
xTrombone
Hadyn sometimes seems like the only trombone player in Auckland. In great demand.
xSurdo, percussion
Janie is deceptively clever, officially the band's only PhD. When not making loud musical sounds can be found playing with large databases.
xPercussion, keyboard, vocals
Wairere is the mum, dad and auntie of the band. If you need a plaster, he'll have one.
xMC, vocals
El Hazo is the only man who can get away with combining Gloria Estefan lyrics with samba.
xTrumpet
Andrew loves to show off, hence his penchant for the high notes. He's good at them too but.
xBass guitar
A.k.a. the bassticle, Alex brings some gypsy to the band; ask him to do his impression of a swearing Croat. Hilarious.
xGuitar, vocals
The multi-lingual Mani is our genuine Brazilian. And look how he can boogie. Not bad on a pandeiro either.
xGuitar, vocals
Mr President brings some kooky charm and a mean set of pedals to the front row. Duffle coat and jandals anyone?
xPercussion
Hit it, slap it, bang it, whack it, Darryn's got it covered and does it with seemingly boundless energy. Makes me tired.
