Quimbombo
Overview
Quimbombó --SALSA Y SON CUBANO PARA BAILAR
--A band with over 15 years experience--
Quimbombo is a groove oriented band with a musical base in the Cuban són (the contagious dance music championed by Buena Vista Social Club that is the main ingredient in salsa); they always maintain strong elements of improvisation and spontaneity in their sound.
The group's lively and unique sound has excited audiences at many venues including Lincoln Center's Midsummer Night's Swing, The River to River Festival, SOB's, the Brooklyn Museum, Asia de Cuba, La Belle Époque, and Gonzalez y Gonzalez. They have recorded two CDs, Quimbombó, released in 2004, and Conga Electrica, released in 2008.

June 14, 2022Havana Night in Style!
Nick and the rest of the band made the night a Hit! We recently hosted an end of the year banquet outdoors.
The Havana themed event featuring Quimbombo with a local cigar rolling company set the back drop for an amazing evening. I could not have scripted the night any better. I have had numerous calls following the party, raving about how great the band was and interest in having them return. Nick was very professional, followed up on any questions and concerns I had, not to mention being punctual. If your looking for an eventful and memorable occasion, look no further than Quimbombo.

September 11, 2019Fantastic Tropical/Cuban Music Entertainment
I hired Nick Herman and his Quimbombo Trio to provide a 3-hour latin-flavored musical backdrop for a backyard dinner party my wife Eileen and I hosted for 65 guests on 07SEP19 as a preamble to a Wynton Marsalis benefit concert in our town of Pine Plains, New York. My general requirement was to provide mostly Cuban and Caribbean music standards while dinner was progressing. Not only Quimbombo delivered the requested music but our guests could not stop talking about and complimenting how great and how much fun the music was. Nick and his trio are consummate professionals who despite the 2-hour one-way drive from New York City showed up punctually to entertain us with their contagious Cuban and Latin-American tunes. I will not hesitate to hire Quimbombo again. I highly recommend them.
