“ Remember the past, challenge the future”, the city motto, of a carefully mastered Southern California community of Lake Forest, became the meeting ground each Friday night as “ RumbaMenco “, assembled in a private nightclub to perform their unique blend of gypsy, afro-cuban, jazz and rock style music, “rumba flamenco “, with origins hailing from the gipsy settlements in the south of France .
The fast, yet carefully strummed guitar work of Daniel Steagall, Jaime Michel, Aydin Seyedi, Darvin Vardayou, the lead guitar mastery of Moris Koriel, acoustic and electric bassist Herbert D. Smith, and percussionist Cruz
“Jr” Maldonado round out this unique ensemble.
Five different countries around the world are home to these six artists.
Since the summer of 2004, RumbaMenco , has been performing all over
Southern California to packed audiences.
