Summer Salsa Festival Pre Parties Schedule featuring Munto Swing – July 12 to 18, 2010

Montuno Swing is a salsa band that produces a big crisp sound. The band is a collection of outstanding Bay Area musicians with a laundry list of credentials to back them up. Christian Tumalan (band director & pianist), David Pinto (bass), Omar Ledezma Jr. (timbales & vocals), Oscar Soltero (bongo & vocals), Edgardo Cambon (congas & vocals), Adam Theis (trombone), and Luke Kirley (trombone) hail from different areas of Latin America and the USA resulting in a sound influenced by an eclectic mix of backgrounds. This is a collective of well-seasoned artists bringing together juicy trombone tunes, long-tickling piano solos, and clever percussion beats sending you spinning across the floor. Montuno Swing is not only a music lover's gem, but also a dancer's band. They give salseros lots to grab onto for movement, lots to groove to. So,shake off that attitude pilgrim, the holidays are just getting started. Go dancing!
