The South Whatcom branch and the Friends of the South Whatcom Library invite you to join them at the Glenhaven Clubhouse (2997 Glenhaven Drive, Glenhaven, WA) with Tumbao. An Afro Cuban band based in Seattle, Tumbao features 3x Latin Grammy-winning singer Carlos Cascante (of the Spanish Harlem Orchestra) as well as pianist/musical director extraordinaire Julio Jauregui from Mexico City. This band plays an uplifting mix of salsa dance classics as well as originals by pianist Jauregui. Peruvian conguero Edsson Otero, Palouse drummer Jeff Busch and Seattle bassist Dean Schmidt round out the sound.
A great group, not to be missed … be sure to bring your dancing shoes!
