¡Latin Night with Tumbao!

¡Latin Night with Tumbao! is the premier Saturday Latin dance party at Bossa Bistro & Lounge, featuring the virtuoso pan-American band Tumbao. Headed by Cuban keyboardist Jorge Martinez and fronted by vocalist Verny Varela, the ensemble draws from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, Colombia, and beyond—sometimes throwing in a Brazilian tune as a nod to the house. With a rotating roster of top-tier musicians including Manuel Hernandez on bass, Gustavo Estrella on congas, and Ralph Esquenazy on timbales, Tumbao delivers fiery live Latin rhythms that keep the dance floor packed from late into the night.
