Al Shikaly:

After attending Berklee College of Music, I had the honor of playing with the legendary Tito Puente in NY City and around the world. After playing on the band for 4 years, my wife and I decided to relocate to South Florida in 1980 where I received calls to tour with the Temptations, Four Tops, Spinners, Tavares, and Lou Rawls.

I joined the world-class Boca Raton Symphonic Pops Orchestra backing up major stars including Tony Bennett, Marvin Hamlisch, Henry Mancini, Burt Bacharach, and so many more. All of this experience led me to start my own entertainment company called SeaCoast Music, Inc. After becoming the entertainment director at the Marriott Harbor Beach Hotel in Ft Lauderdale, my company provided music and entertainment for hundreds of both public and private functions.

For the last six years, I have teamed up with percussionist Bobby Tee forming a group called SeaWind. We play an eclectic mix of music ranging from Old School R&B to Top 40 pop music including Latin, Reggae, and old and new jazz. We perform at local restaurants, country clubs, and private functions.

Bobby Tee:

Hailing from Havana, Cuba, Bobby Tee came to the US as a young boy and grew up in the Bronx. He began playing saxophone and percussion instruments in grade school and never stopped playing. He has played with many “Salsa” groups in NY City including performances with Andy Gonzalez, Alfredo de la Fe, Nicky Marrero, and Dave Valentin.  After retiring to Florida, playing music has become a full- time job once again.
