About show!
Formed by Cuban singer, songwriter and percussionist Mario “Mayito” Salomón, Timbeko incorporates elements of R&B, gospel, jazz and funk into the sounds of popular Cuban Salsa, also known as Timba.
The group made their debut on the streets of Oakland at the 2018 Temescal Street Fair. They’ve since appeared at numerous festivals and venues across the Bay Area, including Oaktoberfest, Hayward Latin Jazz Festival, and San Francisco Carnaval. They’ve also performed in some of the Bay Area’s best clubs, like Bimbo’s 365 Club in San Francisco and La Peña in Berkeley, and appeared live as part of “Con Sabor” on KPFA Radio.
Their single “Nadie sabe nada/Se coge pa’ eso” features Yordys Larrazabal, lead singer of Maykel Blanco y su Salsa Mayor.

A concert series of diverse Latino (American) music representing hemispheric creativity in a wide range of formats interpreted by several of the most dynamic interpreters in the field. The term America in its true sense refers to North, South and Central America as well as the Caribbean islands. Accordingly, Latin American music defies brief descriptions. Folk styles and rhythms in traditional and evolutionary settings, dance music and jazz play seminal roles in this series.
