About this Event
We are keeping the late night MAMBO tradition alive, every week in downtown Washington DC! This week we have DC's OG of salsa DJ's, Geiner Bruno, aka DJ Bruno! We welcome the legendary host of the Montuno Madness Show back to playing, live, for the dancers of the Nation's Capital. Enjoy an evening with your ship captain, DJ Bruno.
Mambo began its roots on U St in Washington, DC over 70 years ago. And in a time where salsa/mambo continues to be pushed further out into the suburbs, our mission is to keep salsa/mambo alive and kicking in downtown DC! We are committed to keeping the mambo tradition ALIVE in Washington DC!
Join us as we get down and MAMBO in the Nation's Capital this coming Mambo Fridays!

MAMBO:
"The word mambo was likely being used in the New World as soon as the Bakongo people arrived in the sixteenth century... basically, mambo means a complex of things involving communication - all of which, in traditional Bantu culture, involved singing.
Arsenio Rodriguez, who claimed to have invented the modern musical style called mambo, and whose grandfather was Congo, told Cuban musicologist Odilio Urfe: "The word mambo is African, of the Congo dialect. One singer says to the other: abre cuto güiri mambo, that is: 'open your ear and listen to what I'm going to tell you.'" Or, in the argot of the 1980s: word up." - Ned Sublette, Cuba and its Music.
