Rumbaché

In San Francisco's salsa scene, Rumbaché has won over dancers and listeners alike with their magnificent mixture of timba, bomba, contemporary Cuban and salsa. Propelled by the grooves of percussionist Patricio Angulo, this is one of the rare bands that's memorable as much for their originals as their take on the classics. They can be heard all over the Bay Area at clubs such as Jelly's, Elbo Room, Glas Kat, La Peña Cultural Center, The Cigar Bar & Grill, Montero's and Shattuck Down-Low Lounge). Kevin Moore of Timba.com, wrote "...one of the highlights of last weekend's San José Jazz Festival was an electrifying and deeply-timbafied version of Adalberto's "Si No Vas a Cocinar" played by the Northern California band Rumbaché, one of the few American groups to take up the challenge of playing Timba."
