Montuno Swing Salsa Band

Performing from 4:30-7pm

Headed up by Grammy winner Christian Tumalan, Montuno Swing is a fresh West Coast salsa band with a big band sound.

Montuno Swing features a top-tier collection of Latin Jazz musicians from across the United States and Latin America, weaving together a rich and diverse collection of sounds under one seamless banner. The band’s infectious rhythm section is accompanied by thundering brass and out-of-this-world piano solos that combine to put a new twist on classic Latin favorites. The result is a band that is loved for its musical talents as well as it’s dance-ability.

Under Christian’s leadership, Montuno Swing has become recognized as one of the San Francisco Bay Area’s hottest Latin bands.
