Mambo King: A Tribute To Tito Puente - DJ Lubi's Salsa Allstars
UK salsa/Cuban/Latin music legendary DJ/promoter Lubi Jovanovic aka DJ Lubi, has teamed up with top Latin jazz musician Jonny Enright (trombonist/bandleader of London band Grupo X), to host a night of live salsa/mambo/latin jazz dedicated to the man they called "The Mambo King" and "El Rey De La Salsa" ("The King Of Salsa")....the one and only TITO PUENTE!
Tonight, DJ Lubi curates an evening of Tito Puente's music played live by an 11 piece all-star salsa/mambo orchestra featuring musicians from the UK, Spain, Cuba, Colombia and Venezuela - the DJ Lubi Salsa Allstars. They'll be performing classic Tito compositions such as "Mambo Gozon", "Ran Kan Kan", Para Los Rumberos", "Guaguanco Margarito", "Nina y Señora", "Picadillo", "Hong Kong Mambo" and of course, "Oye Como Va". The orchestra features musicians from Grupo X, The Gondwana Orchestra, Siete Rayos, Mojito Band, Vibeology and Os Caras and others who have played with Salsa Celtica, Oscar D'Leon, Larry Harlow, Tumbaito, La Clave, Joe Bataan, Dave Valentin and Jimmy Bosch - 4 brass, 3 percussion, piano, bass, vibes and lead vocals. The perfect combination to celebrate the music of "The King".
The orchestra will be playing two sets of Tito's greatest hits with DJ Lubi spinning classic salsa, mambo, son Cubano, guaguanco and cha cha cha before and between sets. Definitely the big Latin music event of July in Manchester.
A standing show.
