Los Variants is the brainchild of Vince Maccarone. Vince’s vision is based on celebrating diversity by bending some of the rules of staying in one genre. This 6-piece super band uses versatile musicians that deliver a spectacular performance and explore the connections between their collective musical and cultural backgrounds to create a seamless mosaic of international groove.

Los Variants’ core personnel is made up of some of Canada’s top musicians featuring vocal powerhouses Suba Sankaran and Dylan Bell (also on keys) Michael Occhipinti on guitars, Jonathan Amador on bass, Luisito Orbegoso on percussion and Vince Maccarone on drums and percussion. Tour guests may include: Luis Simao on accordion, Kevin Turcotte or Andrew McAnsh on trumpet, Fethi Nadjem on violin and Maryem Hassan Tollar on vocals.

The band takes the audience on a musical journey around the world highlighting the band members’ origins and cultures while maintaining a common thread in jazz and roots music. Flamenco, Middle Eastern groove, Caribbean rhythms are all found in a Los Variants performance.

The 2023 Touring Series will be a Global Musical Experience. Drawing from the release of the 1st Los Variants CD, – “jass/blues” and from the latest CD “O Passeio”. This CD features Afrofunk, reggae, jazz, blues and a raucous New Orleans jazz funk number.
