Latin Fire was the winner of the Best Salsa Band award by the Dallas Music
Awards 2004.
Latin Fire is a fairly new band
in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, but it was built upon a solid
background. The aggregation was founded last year by David Flores, a name
widely recognized for his steady prominence for almost 20 years in Texas'
Afro-Latin music.
Latin Fire is a "maturation" of
ideas explored for more than 15 years with Flores' former band, Orquesta
Carabalí. That initial musical concept lived through the first “bonanza
years” of Salsa music in Dallas, a time when the band would perform up to
five nights a week. These days it is under the name Latin Fire that Flores
once againg enjoys the Salsa boom that has swept through Dallas in recent
years and keeps his band busy in all types of local and regional venues—from
elegant hotel ballrooms to small nightclubs and outdoor festivals.
