" . . . They played their mix of modern timba covers and original dance music, keeping the distinct Cubano timbre, but what they excel at are the details. A flute calls across the staccato percussion, Lina Luna’s voice resounds like a drum, and the percussion rains down "

Rumbaché (formerly Quimbombó) has established themselves as one of the hottest Bay Area salsa bands. Fusing salsa, timba, bomba and whatever else they could find to spicen up the mood, they provide a hard hitting style of playing. And while you can hear them interpreting the classic and contemporary Cuban and Salsa repertoire, they are not shy with their own expression. Their fresh originals make them stand-out in an otherwise cover heavy salsa scene. Under the leadership of percussionist Patricio Angulo, Rumbaché is the voice of youth for San Francisco's salsa scene, and ignites enthusiasm in dancers and musical connoisseurs alike.

With a renewed commitment to public performance in 2006, Rumbaché has led a rigorous schedule of performance throughout the Bay Area, including festivals (New Orleans By The Bay, San Jose Jazz Festival) and club dates (Café Cocomo, Elbo Room, Glas Kat, Jelly’s, La Pena Cultural Center, The Cigar Bar, Montero’s and Shattuck Down-Low Lounge).
