Calle 66, a native New Mexican salsa band, was formed in 2005. Originally conceived as a six-piece ensemble, the founding members were Vivian Fernandez (bass), Rafael Arredondo (drums), René Navarro (congas), Ramon (vocals), Federico (piano), and Chris Allen (vibraphone). 2006 saw the departure of some of the original members and the arrival of some new members. The current lineup consists of Jackie Zamora (lead vocals), Steve Figueroa (piano, musical director), Paul Gonzales (trumpet), Brad Dubbs (trumpet), Vivian Fernandez (bass), Rafael Arredondo (drums), and Ramsés Fernandez (congas). The mission of Calle 66 is to play contemporary salsa with a unique style and flavor, and to perform the music with the integrity and respect that the salsa art form deserves. Calle 66 can frequently be seen and heard at the house of salsa: the Cooperage Restaurant in Albuquerque. You can also see them at Salsa Under the Stars at the Albuquerque Museum and other venues. Calle 66 is also available for weddings and other private or corporate events. For individual band member bios, please go to our blog posts.
