Los Charly’s Orchestra is a London based collective created, produced & lead by Venezuelan producers Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel. Combining a retro and exhilarating modern sound, Los Charly’s Orchestra are characterized by a unique edge that blends the Boogie-Disco sound of the 70′s with a seriously Latin perspective.
Among some of the talented members of Los Charly’s Orchestra: Uk Soul singer Andre Speut & Elpidio Alegria, Brazilian bass players: Matheus Nova & George Malamas, Keyboardist: Milt Mavrakakis, Guitarist: Phil Stevenson, Trombonist: Tony Trombony, Trumpet player: Paul Batik, Pianist: Joe Thomas, Drummers: John Desbrulais & Mike Mckenzie, and Venezuelan percussionist Wilmer Sifontes in between many others.
The band has worked in collaboration with some of the most prolific current producers of the contemporary scene such as Faze Action, Jose Luis Pardo (from Los Amigos Invisibles), Pete Herbert & Joey Negro producing a series of releases to the delight of the global Latin-Funk/Soul/Disco scene.
Over the past few years LCO had produced a series of songs that have truly become modern times classics. “My Barrio & Al Ritmo Del Latin Funk” have been given the recognition by entities & personalities of the calibre of NME, Craig Charles (BBC6), Joey Negro, Dimitri from Paris & Norman Jay in between many others due to their authenticity.
As well as that, the band has played in some of the key musical spots of the UK & the rest of the world such as Clore Ballroom (Royal Festival Hall) London, Lovebox Festival, Jazz Cafe, Blue Marlin – Ibiza & Unico – Shanghai.

” The Latin fusion band of the future “ Phil Asher (Restless Soul )
“These guys produce the best booga-flipping-loo we’ve heard in modern times. Their music is so delicious it makes you want to cover it in salt and pepper, then pop it in the slow cooker”. Craig Charles (Funk & Soul Show BBC 6)
“Super-fat bass-laden retro Latin Funk orchestral sounds from this ’70s-influenced, Nuyorican-Disco band – The Ultimate Loft party soundtrack” Time out
London/Venezuela production duo Juan Laya & Jorge Montiel aka Los Charly’s Orchestra take influences from Salsoul, Fania, Donna Summer, Cerrone, Herbie Hancock and even Jamiroquay and blend them with their very unique style of production in order to deliver their latest anthem of Neo Latin Disco.
After a few months of experimentation across different sounds Los Charly’s are back into their main arena with an outstanding new single entitle Everlasting Love.
Those guys were first known by their initial Disco/Funk period and more recently by their infectious Latin/Funk sound, which has been buzzing all around the place for the past couple of years.
This new single expresses a cross road in between the two periods of LCO bringing up a new perspective for the future of this outfit.
“Really good tune!, very Salsoul!” John Morales
