Friday Night Concert Series Presents Santa Mamba

Providence, RI - Mayor Angel Taveras, the Department of Art, Culture + Tourism, the Department of Parks & Recreation and 95.5 WBRU are pleased to announce a performance by Santa Mamba on June 24 as part of this summer's Friday Night Concert Series at Waterplace Park. This performance is free and open to the public and begins at 7:30pm.

Rock, salsa, reggaeton, funk, bachata, disco, bolero…all these elements can be found in Santa Mamba's Latin Rock sounds.

Santa Mamba is best described as a mix-up of musical styles and personalities. Each member of the band contributes with a unique vision and past. There is Gio whose voice resonates with salsa beat and rocker attitude. John M. plays the guitar with a range from of flamenco fingerstyle to Hendrixian wailing. There is John F. on the drums, Chris on the congas, Aaron on bass and Edward on percussion. Nick's funky bass blends in harmoniously with the fusion of Latin music. Together, they become Santa Mamba-the embodiment of fun and flavor.

While, most "Latin" musicians share similar heritages, Santa Mamba is unique in their distinctly varied ethnic makeup. Although all of them have lived through such wide-ranging experiences, they are brought together by their love for music and different cultures. Santa Mamba has an openness of expression that has allowed them to find their very own voice. Santa Mamba's performances are so enjoyable because of the band's emphasis on creating an experience for their audience. As they stated, their "chief goal is to get the whole world dancing."
