About Pura Vida Orquesta

Pura Vida Orquesta

Pura Vida is one of Portland's most electrifying Latin music powerhouses, igniting dance floors with a vibrant fusion of salsa, cumbia, timba, merengue, Latin funk, and Latin jazz. Rooted in the rich musical traditions of Cuba, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, and the Pacific Northwest, the band blends authentic Caribbean rhythms with the creative spirit of Portland's music scene.

Formed nearly 15 years ago by founding members from Costa Rica and Cuba, Pura Vida has grown into a dynamic collective of musicians whose passion, precision, and energy light up every stage they touch. Their performances deliver the full spectrum of Latin music-driving percussion, soulful horns, irresistible grooves, and the kind of contagious energy that keeps crowds dancing all night long.

Whether playing festivals, clubs, cultural events, or community celebrations, Pura Vida brings a high-impact, professional, and joy-filled experience. Their mission is in their name: to spread pura vida-pure life-through music that connects, uplifts, and moves people.

About Jay Si Proof

Jay Si Proof

Jay Si Proof was created by trombonist and vocalist Jeff Chilton whose credits include performing with The Diamonds, The Platters, Broken Social Scene, and recording on over 20 albums by Portland based ensembles. Described as "earth jazz alchemists" by Vortex Magazine, Jay Si Proof's original music plays between rhythmic grooves, personal lyrics, and jazzy harmonies, blending the finesse of a Steely Dan record with the aesthetic of old school funk like The Meters and new school R&B like Erykah Badu. Their music has been featured on Portland's KMHD radio and abroad in European and South American new music playlists.
