Mambo Jazz Gets Down

The percussion was hot on a cold night in Chicago this past December 13th. Raul Timbal - featuring Pepe Armijos on piano, started the fireworks early when they opened the show at the Puerto Rican Police Association’s annual banquet. Raul wowed the crowd when his first number peaked with an exciting timbal solo setting the tone for the night. Raul was at this best and the crowd responded on the dance floor. Pepe Armijos, a guest pianist, entertained the crowd as well with his delightful key work. They played through the night playing their renditions of many of the popular salsa tunes of the day. A good time was had by all. Check them out the next time you get a chance. You won’t be disappointed.
