March 11, 2024Offered various types of music
Musicians arrived very early to my event to set up and prepare for their performance. This was appreciated so that they were ready to play on time. They offered a variety of songs and genres. Overall pleased with their music. It appeared that guests enjoyed the music as well. Singer sometimes was out of tune but overall this band is worth the price which was very affordable. Paul was very attentive and made sure they played what we wanted at the event.

Sazon Tumbao Band
Hi thank your for the 5 star review and comments. Our female singers as always was sensational. We experienced a technical difficultly on one song with our male singer Tony but it was corrected immediately. It dealt with his monitor. You can see our videos and hear us. But most all songs were sang by our female singer who was exceptional. As you can see our band continues to improve and is now of the very best of not the number one band Sonora in Southern California .

Influences and inspiration
Our musical foundation is inspired by the rhythmic depth of Cuban tumbao and classic salsa orchestration, blended with the modern pulse of reggaetón and the vibrant energy of cumbia. We draw artistic influence from the expressive guitar mastery of Santana and the smooth, jazz-infused phrasing of George Benson, shaping a sound that fuses Latin soul with refined musicianship.
We are also inspired by the timeless impact of Sonora Dinamita and the grand romanticism of Ángeles Azules, alongside the driving force of Rock en Español and regional Mexican traditions that resonate deeply throughout California. This fusion of salsa, cumbia, Latin pop, and crossover rock defines our signature style — elegant, powerful, and culturally authentic, yet distinctly our own.
Our influences are not imitated — they are elevated and reimagined into a premium orchestration experience that sets SAZÓN TUMBAO BAND apart within Southern California’s elite Latin entertainment scene.
