¡Latin Night with Tumbao!

¡Latin Night with Tumbao! is a weekly Saturday event at Bossa Bistro & Lounge in Washington, D.C., and the July 4, 2026 edition promises a fiery evening of live Latin music. The band Tumbao, headed by the incomparable Jorge Martinez (Cuba) on keyboard, features a pan-American lineup of consummate musicians: Verny Varela on vocals, Manuel Hernandez (El Salvador) on bass, Gustavo Estrella (Ecuador) on congas, and Ralph Esquenazy (U.S.) on timbales. Together they deliver hot rhythms from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and more, occasionally including a Brazilian song in homage to the house. The event takes place downstairs at the venue and is widely considered the best Latin night in DC.
