Tumbao Bravo

Genres: Latin Jazz, Latin Dance

A2SF welcomes back the Afro-Cuban rhythms of Ann Arbor’s own Latin jazz combo Tumbao Bravo.  Led by composer Paul Vornhagen, who plays the saxophone, flute, and percussionist, their instrumentation also includes trumpet, congas, timbales, keyboard and electric bass. The group performs styles such as mambo and rumba alongside original music, songs of rich harmonic composition and imminently danceable grooves. Winners of three Detroit Music Awards, the band has released several albums on PKO Records that have been featured on major NPR stations across the country. With the tight arrangements, sizzling solo work, and unmistakable swing that personifies the sound of these talented musicians, audiences are in for a joyful, musically rewarding experience. Dance to the rhythms and delight in the colorful arrangements of Tumbao Bravo at Top of the Park this summer.
