Orquesta Mambarito + DJ Gypsy Box at The Magic Garden
June 28 @ 7:00 pm - June 29 @ 2:00 am
Orquestra Mambarito
Burning up red-hot classics from 70s New York, Colombia, Puerto Rico and beyond, they should be arrested for arson! Their blend of classic salsa from 70s hotspots and Afro-Caribbean rhythm really paints a picture of an electrifying live show—those big fat horns and killer vocals must absolutely light up the dance floor.
The 13-strong group has a classic salsa line-up of trumpets,trombones, baritone sax and full Afro-Cuban rhythm section, fronted by fabulous singers Victor Mastrangioli (Venezuela), Diego Abril (Colombia) and Nestor Rojas (Venezuela). ¡A gozar!
“There are few full-time ‘large’ Afro-Latin orchestras in the UK and Europe, but Mambarito are up there with the very best, these cats satisfy music aficionados and dance party animals alike. Always a massive hit at my weekly Saturday afternoon Latin Jazz Brunch sessions, they just seem to get tighter and funkier each show.”
