Overview

Forged in Mexico City and now transplanted to Baltimore, Downtown Tumbao’s sound is one of borderlands that merge Afro-Caribbean beats, creating an original, synergistic mix of Jazz, Bossa Nova, Swing, Bolero and Son. They scale up to their full band for large events and trim down to their quartet for more intimate settings.
