Jose Valdes & the Mambo All-StarsFast FactsLocation: Chicagoland BioThe Mambo All-Stars play salsa, merengue, cumbia, cha-cha,
and boleros, a cross section of all the Latin dance rhythms. The band
performs at various public venues such as Summerdance at Grant Park,
The Adler Planetarium, the Taste of Chicago, and numerous corporate
events. Sonia Perez and Joe Gonzalez have been two of the top singers
in Latin music for many years. The instrumentalists are the best on
the Latin music scene. The material is from both classic and Olga Tanion',
Celia Cruz, Ray Barreto, Sonora Poncena, La India, Las Chicas Del Can,
and Selena. Jose Valdes, who leads the group, has worked with such greats
as Jose Fajardo, Tito Puente, and Eddie Palmieri. His piano artistry
is exciting, full of authentic montuno rhythms and driving solos backed
by torrid percussion. |
