Jstop Latin Soul is a Roanoke, Virginia-based Afro-Cuban jazz ensemble formed in 2018. Led by trombonist Joel Stopka and bassist/guitarist Brian Mesko, the group delivers a fiery, authentic blend of Afro-Cuban jazz, rumba, salsa, and cha-cha rooted in both technical mastery and genuine passion for Latin musical traditions.

The ensemble's rich sound is anchored by Latin percussionists Vladimir Espinosa and David Sandoval, drummer DeWayne Peters, and pianist "Montuno Tom" Floyd. Recording artist Bobby Read contributes vibrant tenor and soprano saxophone, Jamiel Allen brings sultry synth and organ textures, and Willis Greenstreet rounds out the group with inventive guitar work.

Big Lick Latin Underground (BLLU) is a Roanoke Valley organization committed to building a welcoming Latin dance community through events that emphasize safety, inclusivity, and collaboration. Together, these two groups have made the annual Latin Dance Party a beloved regional tradition.
