¡Latin Night with Tumbao!

The best Latin night in DC takes place every Saturday at Bossa Bistro and Lounge, and this June 27, 2026 edition stars the fiery pan-American band Tumbao. Headed by the incomparable Jorge Martinez on keyboard, the group features Verny Varela on vocals, Manuel Hernandez on bass, Gustavo Estrella on congas, and Ralph Esquenazy on timbales. Armed with the area’s finest musicians, Tumbao delivers hot rhythms from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and beyond, occasionally even throwing in a Brazilian song as a homage to the house. The event is held downstairs at the venue and promises a lively, dance-filled evening.
