Pacific Mambo Orchestra has taken the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond by storm since its inception in 2010. PMO has created quite a ‘buzz’ by establishing itself within the short period of 6 months as one of the most exciting live acts in the Bay Area, featuring some of Northern California’s finest musicians! Trumpeter Steffen Kuehn and Pianist Christian Tumalan, both experienced bandleaders in their own right, formed this Latin Salsa Big Band to bring back and build upon the great Latin Big Band sounds of the 1940’s through 1960’s. PMO plays the music of Latin giants such as Machito, Tito Puente, Celia Cruz and many others and include those rich traditions with their own contemporary and original arrangements. Pacific Mambo Orchestra is currently the only Latin Big Band on the West Coast, that plays regularly – the Orchestra performs in San Francisco on Monday nights at Café Cocomo (www.cafecocomo.com), voted 3rd best Salsa Club in the country by USA Today! PMO’s instrumentation consists of 4 Trumpets, 4 Trombones, 5 Saxophones, Piano, Bass, Timbales, Congas, Bongos and the female Lead singer Alexis Guillen. PMO’s members have performed and/or recorded with the industries’ biggest names like Carlos Santana, Ray DeLa Paz, Jose Lugo Guasabara Orchestra, Los Adolescentes, Isaac Delgado, Gilberto Santarosa, Tito Rojas, La India, Victor Manuelle and many others.
