Luis is the percussionist for the orchestra on NBC's hit TV show, Dancing With the Stars.

Endorsed by the Meinl and Zildjian instrument companies, Luis has designed his own signature series of instruments and drumsticks. His percussion clinic tours take him around the world, teaching musicians the essentials and history of Afro-Cuban rhythm.
Luis Conte’s genius stems from his ability to integrate the powerful rhythms of his native Cuba with the American necessities of Pop music. Luis Conte was part of the Phil Collins 1997 "Dance into the Light" tour and 2004 "First Farewell Tour. Recently, Conte has toured as part of James Taylor's "Band of Legends." He has also played alongside such famed musicians as Alex Acuña, Jaguares, Larry Klimas, and David Garfield, both as a bandleader and a sideman.
