Quimbombo' is dedicated to creatively interpreting the Cuban son (the contagious dance music championed by Buena Vista Social Club that is the main ingredient in salsa) by maintaining strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in its sound. Quimbombó (pronounced keem-bohm-BO) is the title of a classic Cuban són popularized by Conjunto Chappotín in the 1950's; a word of Congolese origin, it means "okra" in Spanish. The group's lively and unique sound has excited audiences at many venues including Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night's Swing, SOB's, the Empire State Building, the Brooklyn Museum, La Belle Epoque, Gonzalez y Gonzalez, Sweet Rhythm, The Blue Water Grill, and Bennington College.
