Quimbombó

Quimbombó is dedicated to creatively interpreting the Cuban són (the contagious dance music championed by Buena Vista Social Club that is the main ingredient in salsa) by maintaining strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in its sound.

Quimbombó (pronounced keem-bohm-BO) is the title of a classic Cuban són popularized by Conjunto Chappot’n in the 1950's; a word of Congolese origin, it means "okra" in Spanish.

The group's lively and unique sound has excited audiences at many venues including Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night's Swing, SOB's, The Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Museum, La Belle Epoque, Gonzalez y Gonzalez, Sweet Rhythm, The Blue Water Grill, and Bistro Latino.

Its members are: Nick Herman, David Oquendo, Onel Mulet, Steve Gluzband, Chacho Schartz, Ricky Salas and Jennifer Vincent.
