Lead singer, Dennis Lopez is a true entertainer. When the Spanglish Band was forming, Dennis was the first to
come to mind for its lead singer. With his versatile vocal abilities, he can master any genre Spanglish throws at
him. He is currently writing originals for the band. Not only is he a tremendous singer, he can make the most difficult dance moves seem completely effortless as he performs with his dance group, Mambo Elegancia.

Born in Puerto Rico, his talents cross the arts with his passion in singing, dancing and playing instruments. It all began for him at the age of 13, when he traveled playing Bomba and Plena, traditional Puerto Rican music. He
is an international performer, instructor and choreographer, dancing and singing for 23 years. Performing in numberous Salsa Congresses he represented Puerto Rico for 5 consecutive years, touring in Europe.

Lopez recently participated in the Chicago finals of “So You Thing You Can Dance” season three and was the winner of “Rumba with the Stars 2007”. For the past 8 years, he has been part of two local bands, Bajo Zero and Nabori. Dennis is the director of Mambo Elegancia, a local dance group, that astounds the audience with their fanciful footwork and artistic forms.
