We are all about the rhythm.
Quimbombó is dedicated maintaining strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in its sound. In other words, we are "all guataca, all the time"..(i.e. we jam, make stuff up...).
Quimbombó (pronounced keem-bohm-BO) is the title of a classic Cuban són popularized by Conjunto Chappotín in the 1950's; a word of Congolese origin, it means okra in Spanish. The groups lively and unique sound has excited audiences at many venues including Lincoln Centers Midsummer Nights Swing, SOBs, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Museum, La Belle Epoque, Gonzalez y Gonzalez, Sweet Rhythm, The Blue Water Grill, and Bennington College. ---------------You can hear more of our CD at cdbaby.com
