¡Tumbao! is a high-energy Latin Fusion ensemble that will transport you to the vibrant streets of Latin America and beyond. With members hailing from all corners of the musical spectrum, ¡Tumbao! blends the infectious rhythms of Salsa, the groove of Funk, indigenous beats of Cumbia, the electrifying power of Latin-Rock, the smoothness of R&B, mind-expanding Psychedelic Amazonian beats, and the soul-stirring touch of Brass. 

Formed in 2019, the band's dynamic stage presence, stellar musicianship, and infectious energy create an atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

¡Tumbao! is more than heart-pounding rhythms and irresistible melodies. The band provides a cultural journey that celebrates the rich traditions and diverse heritage of Latin America. And, it features our very own CMS guitar instructor Mike Buckley! Mr. Buckley has invited CMS students Xavier Molina and Alondra Azcona to join them.
