Sauce Piquante

**Sauce Piquante** is a Paris-based musical duo known for blending Afro-Cuban rhythms with bold electronic textures and a DIY ethos. Formed in 2018 by Cuban-French vocalist Clara Méndez and producer/multi-instrumentalist Luis Torres, the pair crafts energetic tracks like *Reina* and *Alquimia* that pay homage to their Cuban roots while experimenting with glitchy beats and modern synthscapes. Their music often tackles themes of cultural duality and empowerment, delivered through Clara’s powerhouse vocals and Luis’s genre-melting production. Recent releases like *Temperature* showcase their knack for dancefloor-ready grooves infused with salsa-inspired percussion, earning them slots at festivals like Roskilde and Vive Latino. Keeping it independent, they self-produce their work and collaborate with global artists, cementing their reputation as a fresh voice in fusion music.
