Rumba Caliente are one of the UK's most exciting salsa-soul groups.
Led by Salsa Celtica's Toby Shippey and featuring Lino Rocha and Ricardo Fernandez Pompa on lead vocals Rumba Caliente have a unique Afro-Latin/Salsa-Soul sound.
Combining musicians from the heartlands of salsa (Venezuela, Cuba and New York) with some of Scotland's most exciting jazz and world music players the group effortlessly move from salsa to soul, latin-jazz to funk, raga to rumba and back to salsa again.
The group have built a fantastic reputation for thrilling live shows playing jazz and world music festivals throughout the UK and Europe, and have appeared live in session on Radio Scotland, Radio 2 and 3. With their forthcoming album due for release, and having recently received Scottish arts council Tune-Up tour support funding Rumba Caliente will be touring throughout 08 and 09. Please get in touch with any questions.

Hey guys! I heard "PAPA FUE" at a club on Long IsLand and I was blown away. I became a fan that night. Since then I've gone to your page and heard some more of your music and I have to say "ESO ES SALSA"! As a musician here in New York it's great to see that our music and traditions are alive all around the world. Stay in touch and keep the music comming. Thanks for the add. Your friend, Rafael.
