Boston's newest and hottest salsa band, OBBINI TUMBAO, will return to the Regattabar on Tuesday, July 26, at 7:30pm, as part of the club's Latin Beat Tuesdays series. Founders, Rebecca Cline on piano and Ana Norgaard on percussion, will lead an outstanding ensemble comprised of the area�s best performers: Damian Padro on lead vocals and percussion, Mondongo and Squanch on trombone, Luis Gemelo on baby bass, and Carlos Alvarez on percussion.
The music of Obbini Tumbao blends folkloric and popular Cuban music with North American jazz to create a body of work whose infectious rhythms will make you want to get up and dance. Cline, from Athens, Georgia, and Norgaard, from Caracas, Venezuela, join forces to produce a compelling new repertoire that incorporates the wide range of musical influences they share. The septet will play a broad selection of beloved dance classics, as well as the band's own compositions.
