¡Oir Salseros! London’s salsa sensation Orquesta Mambarito sets the dancefloor alight! Burning up red-hot classics from 70s New York, Colombia, Puerto Rico and beyond, they should be arrested for arson! Get ready for that infectious Latin Caribbean groove, big fat horns and killer vocals! The 11-strong group has a classic salsa line-up of trumpets, trombones, baritone sax and full Afro-Cuban rhythm section, fronted by fabulous Venezuelan singer Victor Mastrangioli. ¡A gozar!

Orquesta Mambarito's Reviews

5 out of 5

There are few full-time ‘large’ (read : 9 or more members) AfroLatin orchestras in the UK and Europe, but Mambarito are up there with the very best. Always sporting a full-size brass and wind section, even including that essential bass ‘underflow’ from the baritone saxophone (MD David Strahan take a bow), these cats satisfy music aficionados and dance party animals alike. Always a massive hit at my weekly Saturday afternoon Latin Jazz Brunch sessions at Peckham’s CLF Art Lounge, they just seem to get tighter and funkier each show. Ain’t no stoppin’ ‘em now…

Orquesta Mambarito, without a doubt, is one of the best live bands on the salsa scene at the moment, great sound, great vibe, great energy, I've never seen so many dancers on the floor when they play. If you don't get up and dance to Orquesta Mambarito, you don't like salsa! Tony Harrison, Salsasmile, Romford

What is the most high profile gig you've performed?

Will the singer be the same as who I see in the videos?

Usually the singer will be the one you see and hear on the latest videos. Please check when booking..

Do you have different line-up options?

Not really. Our salsadura is exciting because it features tight orchestrations for five horns - and of course the rhythm section is also essential!

What if my timings change after I've booked you?

Get in touch.

Can you provide an iPod/DJ service before and between your sets?

Yes.

How much time do you need to set up?

At least one hour, preferably two.

Can I pick the songs you play from the set list?

Talk to us.

Is all of the equipment (e.g. PA & lighting) included in your quote?

No the PA is not included in our quote. If your venue does not provide PA and sound engineer, we can arrange it for an extra fee. If your venue does provide those things, please put us in touch to check the technical details. As an 11 piece band, we need a decent sized stage, ideally 5m wide by 4m deep.

Can you learn song requests before the event?

That depends how much time we have. Talk to us.
