¡Latin Night with Tumbao!
A lively evening of Latin music awaits at Bossa Bistro & Lounge every Saturday night with the band Tumbao, and this specific date of August 29, 2026, is no exception. Headed by Cuban keyboardist Jorge Martinez, the ensemble features a pan-American lineup: vocalist Verny Varela, bassist Manuel Hernandez (El Salvador), conga player Gustavo Estrella (Ecuador), and timbalero Ralph Esquenazy (United States). Together they deliver hot rhythms from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and occasionally a Brazilian song in tribute to the venue. The event takes place downstairs and promises a high-energy, dance-filled night.
