Orchestra Mambo International - Fania Records 60th Anniversary

After their great "Tito Puente" tribute show, the UK’s top mambo band Orchestra Mambo International return for a big salsa party.

This time, the band is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the greatest Latin music label of all time…..Fania Records.

The label’s standing in Latin music is equivalent to what Blue Note is to jazz, Tamla Motown is to soul and Trojan is to reggae…..simply the greatest of all time.

Orchestra Mambo International will be playing iconic songs and music by the Fania Allstars, Ray Barretto, Willie Colon, Hector Lavoe, Larry Harlow, Tito Puente, Cheo Feliciano, Louie Ramirez and many more amazing Fania artists.

Featuring musicians who have played with Latin legends such Joe Bataan, Larry Harlow, Oscar D’Leon, Tito Allen, Jimmy Bosch, the 12 piece salsa and mambo ensemble really bring the heat to the dancefloor.

The night will be hosted by DJ Lubi, who will also play salsa, mambo, Latin bugalu, Cuban music, merengue, bachata and Latin electronica sets before, between and after the live music sets.

DJ Lubi has compiled several titles for the re-launched Fania label, including the 4 CD boxed set “Salsa : A Musical History” and the critically acclaimed and ever-popular “NYC Salsa” series (Vols 1, 2 and 3).
