¡Oir Salseros! London’s salsa sensation Orquesta Mambarito sets the dance-floor alight! Burning up red-hot classics from 70s New York, Colombia, Puerto Rico and beyond, they should be arrested for arson! Get ready for that infectious Latin Caribbean groove, big fat horns and killer vocals! 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). ¡Agozar!
Bandleader David Strahan (baritone sax) brought the group together during dark days of Covid lockdown to make online video recordings of salsa classics like Ray Barretto’s Indestructible. Since unlockdown they have been gigging hard and building up an enthusiastic following in London’s Latino and salsa-dancing communities. They recently played Pizza Express Soho – their first gig in the West End. The band’s name is a combination of ‘mambo’ and ‘baritono’ – the Spanish for baritone.
