The eight piece band features Colombian singer Irma Monsalve Botero, a pioneer of the Sydney salsa movement whose passionate stage performance with a characteristic timing phrasing and feeling, captivates the audience leaving them breathless.

Irma was born in Cali, The Salsa Music Capital of the Americas, a place that gives birth to an exceptional number of musical talents, where the roots of Cuban music are an essential part of everyday life and greatly influenced her early years.
Babalu was formed by Irma in 1996 and performed for first time at Carnavale that year, since then they have appeared in numerous festivals like World eleven, the Sydney Festival Bacardi Latino, Songs of the Wind, Folk on Higher Ground, and Headlined Winter Magic to an audience of 20.000 dancers.
