CR&R STAGE AT CITY HALL
TIMBA TUMBAO 10:30 A.M. to 12:30 P.M.
Timba Tumbao came together when band leader and trumpet player Nicolas Cervantes decided to continue playing the Mambo, Cha Cha and Latin Jazz he had been performing for years in school. Groomed on Tito Puente and the Salsa of the 70’s, He gathered up his fellow musicians and set to work rehearsing and preparing for their first gig. Since then, Timba Tumbao has been received with great enthusiasm wherever they perform. This young, high energy filled group of musicians consists of a 3-piece horn section, congas, timbales, bass and piano. The band is fronted by Juan Vicencio and Rossely Robleto on vocals. Veteran stage performers, members of Timba Tumbao have performed at the Central Avenue Jazz Festival multiple times as well as Gil Cedillo’s L.A. Latin Jazz and Music Festival. Eager to make their mark in the Latin music world, Timba Tumbao is ready to bring on the music.
