Yolo Mambo brings spicy Salsa, Latin, Blues, and Pop rhythms to any party or occasion! Vocalist Catherine LeBlanc delivers Latin and pop music in Spanish, Portuguese, French and English, backed up vocally by the entire quartet: Phil Summers on nylon-string guitar, Carla Campbell on percussion, and Steve O’Neill on upright bass. Our music can be mellow for dinner or cocktails, and lively for dancing. Both Summers and LeBlanc are familiar members of the world music group !Akimbö, while Campbell will be recognized from her work with the Diane Patterson Xtet. O’Neill’s career has included California Zephyr, the Loose Acoustic Trio, and, with Campbell, local Latin group Mejor Que Nada. Yolo Mambo adapts popular songs to a Latin and Caribbean groove, mixed in with straight-ahead salsa-folk. You will hear the music of Cuba, South America, New York, Zimbabwe, Norah Jones, Stevie Wonder, and Aretha.
