Live bands for hire in Latin America: Colombia, Chile, the Dominican Republic and more
Published October 15, 2026. Every figure has its source at the end; ZONAS counts are live.
ZONAS was born with regional Mexican music, and almost all of its catalog is in the United States and Mexico. But there are already groups in other Latin American countries: here they all are, country by country, counted live.
ZONAS doesn’t sell performances or take a commission: you talk directly with the group, and the deal is between you.
Outside the United States and Mexico, still few
Each country below links to its ZONAS page, with its groups, their music, social media and direct contact.
As more groups join, each country will get its own guide, as the United States and Mexico already have.
How many groups are in Latin America today
ZONAS has 17 groups and musicians in Latin America, counted live from the catalog.
