About Conjunto Karabali:
Conjunto Karabali is San Francisco’s newest and hottest Latin dance band, featuring some of the finest talent in the Bay Area. The band is co-led by two of the United States’ most renowned percussionists, Mike Spiro and Karl Perazzo, who have joined forces to create a group specifically for the dancer’s enjoyment. They describe Karabali’s style as “old school” salsa, and they bring to the Bay Area for the first time the traditional NY conjunto sound, popularized by Johnny Pacheco, Conjunto Clasico and Conjunto Libre.
This band is about swing and joyful energy, and the dancers can’t wait to hit the floor when Karabali kicks into high gear. The band boasts a who’s-who of SF Latin music all-stars in its line-up, starting of course with its leaders, Mike and Karl. These two internationally recognized drummers have performed and recorded with almost every major Latin artist of the last 30 years, from Eddie Palmieri to Carlos Santana, from Tito Puente to Celia Cruz. This is to say nothing of their credits as producers, bandleaders, and clinicians. Their extensive recordings over the last 25 years include internationally recognized jazz, Latin-jazz and pop artists, for which they have each received multiple Grammies and Grammy nominations.
When organizing the band, Mike and Karl asked Edgardo Cambon, the multi-talented vocalist/percussionist to take on the lead vocal chores, and then added Bob Karty on piano, Steve Senft-Herrera on bass, and the latest addition to the Bay Area music scene Miguel Martinez on flute. They then asked two of the finest trombone players in the area, Jeff Cressman and Marty Wehner, to come on board, along with the great Bill Ortiz on trumpet. The Credits of the horn players alone reads like a who’s who of contemporary music as they collectively have played with; Tito Puente,Boz Scaggs, Carlos Santana,Israel “Cachao” Lopez, Pete Escovedo,Herbie Hancock & Sheila E.. There is no greater collection of musicians in any Latin band in the Bay Area, and with this caliber of musicianship and the hard driving swing the band brings to every performance, it is no wonder that club owners and concert promoters throughout California can’t wait to get Conjunto Karabali on stage.

About Rumbache:
Rumbaché (formerly Quimbombó) has established themselves as one of the hottest Bay Area salsa bands.

Their fresh originals make them stand-out in an otherwise cover heavy salsa scene.

About Julio Bravo:
Julio Bravo was born in Lima, Peru.
He demonstrated his passion for the arts at a very early age appearing on children’s television programs, school plays and several theatrical productions.
Julio arrived in the United States in 1989 with high musical
aspirations and began performing with “Trio Los Chalanes,”
becoming increasingly popular within the Latin American
community, particularly the Peruvian community.
In 1991 Julio appeared on the television show “Buscando Estrellas” -the Latin version of Star Search- making it to the finals and giving him a tremendous amount of exposure and opportunities. Julio joined Orquesta Internacional in 1992, performed regularly throughout Northern California gaining individual notoriety and was increasingly in demand as the featured act.
In 1994, Julio decided to assemble his own orchestra, Salsabor.
Based in San Francisco, California, Julio Bravo started recruiting
talented musicians and securing bookings for the band at local
nightclubs and private venues.
Julio has recorded two Peruvian music albums: “Jarana Peruana” and “Cerca de Ti” and is currently working on his first salsa CD featuring his original compositions. Julio’s unique interpretations and distinctive style are the band’s trademarks.

About Mazacote:
Mazacote is the hard-swinging, old-school salsa group led by legendary percussionist Louie Romero, who came to fans’ attention as the longtime timbales player for famed salsero “El Cantante” Hector Lavoe. Louie is also renowned for his work with Willie Colón, Rubén Blades, Celia Cruz, Ron Carter, and other salsa and jazz stars in his native New York.
Based in San Francisco, Mazacote plays a crowd-pleasing, high-energy mixture of classic salsa favorites and original latin jazz tunes. It’s no wonder that Latin Beat magazine called Mazacote “one of the premier salsa ensembles in Northern California.”
Recently, the band released the album “Timbalero.” Its title track is a fresh take on Louie’s classic 1972 recording of the song with Hector Lavoe and Willie Colón. The album — filled with soulful and danceable salsa, cha-cha, latin jazz, Cuban guajira, and bomba — is receiving rave reviews from dancers, DJs, and music critics alike.
