HUA HIN — Monday 1 December 2025, the shore of Anantasila Beach Resort Hua Hin came alive with Latin rhythms as Asoke Latino Band — billed as “Asoke Latino 4” — took the stage, delivering a vibrant and memorable “Latin Night” experience that gathered music lovers, dancers and resort guests under the stars.
🎶 A Night of Rhythms, Dance & Sea Breeze
Starting at 18:30 hrs, the band launched into a set filled with energetic beats that ranged from classic salsa to lively bachata and merengue. Very quickly, drawing a crowd to the sand-lined dance floor. The sound of Cheer (Akaraporn Sanprasit) on drums and congas, Gino (Phakphoom Chaithep) on trumpet, Adolfo Rodriguez on guitar and vocals, and Billy Alcordo on bass and backup vocals echoed against the sea, blending music with the natural ambience of the beach.
Guests — from seasoned Latin dancers to newcomers — swayed and danced barefoot on the sand, moving in time with the music under soft lights and a gentle sea breeze. The vibe was festive and inclusive, offering something for everyone.
Dining, Drinks and Beach-Front Vibes With Asoke Latino 4
Asoke Latino’s performance was paired with the signature beach-bar and restaurant atmosphere of Anantasila. Open-air dining, cocktails, and the sound of waves as a backdrop. The resort’s restaurant — known for combining Thai and European dishes and offering a full bar — made for a perfect seaside venue. Guests enjoyed à-la-carte meals and drinks between sets, some lounging at tables facing the sea, others drawn to the dance floor for spontaneous moves.
A Blend of Locals, Travellers and Community Spirit
The audience wasn’t limited to resort guests. Locals, travellers, and Latin-dance enthusiasts from around Hua Hin came together — creating a warm and communal atmosphere. The night felt less like a formal concert and more like a beachside festival. Full of shared joy, laughter, and music.
Many said the event captured the best of what Anantasila aims to offer. Relaxed elegance, good food and drink, and lively entertainment that brings people together. For some, it was a night to remember. For others, a spontaneous reminder of why they love Hua Hin’s beach-party scene.
What This Means for Anantasila & Asoke Latino 4
This edition of Latin Night confirms that Anantasila Beach Resort can offer more than just comfortable accommodation. It can be a destination for cultural nights, live music and community gatherings. Meanwhile, Asoke Latino Band’s performance may have introduced their music to new listeners in Hua Hin. Perhaps planting the seeds for future dance nights or Latin-music fans in town.
If you were not there last night — or if you’re in Hua Hin and looking for a lively, seaside evening — it’s worth keeping an eye on the resort’s upcoming events. With beach, music, food and atmosphere, a night at Anantasila could offer just the mix you’re looking for.
Bangkok’s Jasmine City Hotel pulsed with salsa energy from 6–10 November 2025, and one of the standout storylines of the Salsa Bangkok Fiesta was the hometown heat brought by the Asoke Latino Band — first fronting their own set and then stepping up as the live-band backbone for international star Ricky Campanelli on the festival’s Sunday night live-band showcase.
The festival’s 19th edition kept its reputation as Southeast Asia’s biggest Latin-dance gathering: workshops all day, pool and afternoon parties, and big night shows. Organizers made the Sunday night slot extra-special this year by billing a live-band extravaganza — and it was the Asoke Latino Band who would supply the local muscle behind Ricky Campanelli’s appearance.
Asoke Latino’s early sets around the festival weekend showcased the band’s tight mando-percussion pocket and a repertoire that moved seamlessly from classic salsa dura to timba-flavored crowd-pleasers. Dancers packed the floor, responding to the band’s live horn hits and call-and-response vocals; those sets set the stage for the bigger collaboration to come. (Promotional and lineup listings for SBF confirm the Asoke Latino Band’s presence in the program and the Sunday live-band billing.)
Ricky Campanelli — known on the international salsa circuit for his remixes and high-energy DJ sets — took the stage with the Asoke Latino Band as his live band for the festival’s headline live performance. The pairing gave the night an extra layer of electricity: Ricky, together with the band’s live groove, translated into extended dance breaks, live montunos, and a string of numbers that had the crowd dancing through the set. Festival listings and event coverage advertised and celebrated the collaboration between Ricky and the Asok Latino band for this exclusive evening.
LIVE MUSIC EVENT FULL VIDEO COVERAGE
Behind the scenes, band and festival social posts later described the experience as a milestone for the Thai group — not just because they backed an international artist on the main stage, but because the collaboration brought guest musicians and mentors into the mix (posts referenced special guests such as Ariel Arguelles and mentorship from veteran players). After the show, Asoke Latino’s own channels and several reels celebrated the “good experience” of performing as Ricky’s backup and highlighted the cross-pollination between local musicians and visiting experts.
What it meant for the local scene: festivals like the Salsa Bangkok Fiesta often function as cultural accelerators, and this pairing underlined that role. For Bangkok’s Latin-music community, watching a homegrown ensemble move from opening sets to anchoring an international artist’s live show felt like a passing-of-the-torch moment — a demonstration that Thai bands can both honor salsa traditions and deliver at big-stage, international-artist standards.
If you missed it, there are plenty of festival highlights and reels circulating on social channels documenting the crowd, the band’s tight arrangements, and Ricky’s dynamic presence — a vivid record of one of SBF 2025’s most memorable nights.
