30 years of Tumba-ito - The anniversary tour!
30 years of Tumba-ito - the anniversary tour!
30 years, 6 musicians, 1 sound - and a whole lot of joie de vivre!
The Dresden-based Latin band Tumba-ito is celebrating its 30th anniversary - and with a lot of fanfare! Since its foundation in 1995 by DJ Bongo, the band has developed into the longest-lived and probably most innovative Latin formation in East Germany. Now the six exceptional musicians are going on a big anniversary tour - with fresh songs, concentrated energy and a star guest from Colombia!
What you can expect: A unique mix of Son Cubano, Chacha, Mambo, Timba, Samba, Cumbia, Bossa, spiced up with influences from Jazz, Soul and Pop - all handmade, authentic and with a very special Tumbaito twist. The music is not simply copied, but creatively combined. The result? An explosive, yet finely tuned cocktail - energetic, danceable and full of alegría! The current line-up of the band has been on stage together for over 20 years - perfectly attuned to each other, virtuosic and with a palpable joy in music and togetherness. Their live shows are known for dynamic interaction, improvised moments and that very special groove that immediately gets you moving.
And best of all, they will be joined by the celebrated percussionist Fabio Ortiz from Bogotá, Colombia - a true master of his trade who has played with many of the greats of the Latin genre. Together with Tumba-ito, he will ignite a real Latin crossover firework display on the anniversary tour!
