With their latest release Homage expressing the finest sentiments from the gilded age of Cuban rhythm, and earning a place as the album of the week here at our own EastsideFM 89.7, this 15 piece Latin band are set to relive the thriving 50’s and 60’s with Mambos, Cha Cha Chas, Congas, Salsa and Boleros. Their unique infusion of Latin and Jazz is one that could only be achieved through the combination of these talented individuals, who are highly revered as some of the best Australia has to offer.
The band will be joined by one of Sydney’s most active Latino singer Richard Valdes, whose unique vocal sound is the product of over 15 years of hard work and dedication. As a prominent figure within the Salsa scene of our city, the combination of Richard and Mucho Mambo will make for an unforgettable night.
