Munto Swing
Thursday Pre Party at the Roccapulco

Montuno Swing is a salsa band that produces a big crisp sound. The band is a collection of outstanding Bay Area musicians with a laundry list of credentials to back them up. Christian Tumalan (band director & pianist), David Pinto (bass), Omar Ledezma Jr. (timbales & vocals), Oscar Soltero (bongo & vocals), Edgardo Cambon (congas & vocals), Adam Theis (trombone), and Luke Kirley (trombone) hail from different areas of Latin America and the USA resulting in a sound influenced by an eclectic mix of backgrounds. This is a collective of well-seasoned artists bringing together juicy trombone tunes, long-tickling piano solos, and clever percussion beats sending you spinning across the floor. Montuno Swing is not only a music lover's gem, but also a dancer's band. They give salseros lots to grab onto for movement, lots to groove to. So,shake off that attitude pilgrim, the holidays are just getting started. Go dancing!

Havana Night
featuring
Danny Rojo y Su Pornoson

April 10, 2010

music by:DJ MICHA
Doors: 12am/Show: 1am

Admission:$10 Reduced List, $15 General Admission

SOBs is bringing Danny Rojo Y Su Pornoson to New York`s “forbidden fruit”- Havana Night on the 13th March. The Afrocuban funk-rock band Pornoson was founded in NYC, in 2005 by Cuban composer Danny Rojo. They began spreading their unique blend of AfroCuban rhythms, blazing guitar, electric strings, thumping bass and controversial lyrics all around New York hotspots.

Today, Pornoson is no longer only a typical Latin band playing traditional Cuban salsa music, but since band- leader Danny Rojo has “sexed-up” the versions of these long-established tunes they are unstoppable! The sexual lyrics of PORNOSON have inspired as many haters as lovers, but even the haters agree that the music is fierce and unstoppable, and impossible NOT to groove to.

Make sure not to miss this life celebrating night!
