Edwin Pabon & Orchestra consists of twelve members. Fronting the orchestra is Edwin and the Salsa Mix Dancers. Edwin performs all the lead vocals of the band, while the Salsa Mix Dancers and members of the percussion section provide chorus vocals. The Orchestra is divided into three sections: the brass section (two trombones and two trumpets); the percussion section (congas, timbales, bongos, and piano); and the string section (electric and baby bass). Edwin Pabon & Orchestra perform a wide range of music. While audiences usually demand salsa and merengue, the Orchestra also plays mambos, cha-cha, and boleros. In the last decade, Edwin and the Orchestra have performed throughout the East Coast, as far north as Canada, at concerts, festivals and other community events, dances, weddings, nightclubs, colleges, and on television programs.
