Salsa Forte is a high-energy Latin band formed from members of the Fort Collins music scene. Based in Fort Collins, Colorado, the band delivers dance-driven performances rooted in salsa, while weaving in merengue, cumbia, cha-cha-cha, bachata, and Latin jazz.

Half of the band are music educators at local schools, while the other half are active performers in Northern Colorado’s music scene, with members connected to Funky Business, New Wave Sensation, Choice City Seven, and The Retake.

Proudly representing Northern Colorado’s salsa community, Salsa Forte brings rhythm, energy, and joy to every show—and we’re here to make you dance.

If there’s a dance floor, Salsa Forte will fill it.
