A
gig
held at Mr Wolfs
on Friday 27th June. The event starts at 21:00.
Bringing the irresistible rhythms of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and New York to the UK, Mambo Tropical is an 8-piece salsa powerhouse that commands every stage with fiery brass, hypnotic percussion, and basslines that move both bodies and souls.
With a lineup featuring trombone, twin trumpets, congas, timbales, and soaring vocals, the band pays homage to legends like Oscar D’León, El Gran Combo, and Willie Colón while electrifying audiences with their own dynamic energy. Their sets are a journey through salsa’s golden age, from the gritty salsa dura of Fruko y sus Tesos’ "El Preso" to the modern timba swagger of Issac Delgado’s "La Vida es un Carnaval"—plus surprises like the Japanese-Latin fusion of "Mambo de la Luz."
Seasoned performers, Mambo Tropical has set the dancefloor ablaze at La Rumba Festival (Oxford), James St Tavern, Salsa in Aylesbury, The Mad Hatter, and The Isis Tavern—earning a reputation for unshakable grooves and pure party adrenaline.
Now, they’re bringing their tropical heat to Mr Wolfs, Bristol, on 27th November. Whether you’re a salsa devotee or a first-time listener, prepare for a night of unstoppable rhythms, sweat-drenched shirts, and joy that lasts until the last note fades.
¡Que viva la música!
