All over the world the
irresistible combination of African rhythms, latin
passion and jazz inspiration is moving hips and
winning hearts as it crosses all political,
economic, and cultural barriers - towards its
millennial mission of Global Groove. Britain can
now boast packed salsa dance clubs in every major
city, and Birmingham is right there in front.
Mambo Taxi started playing in 1998, and is firmly
locked into the
afro-cuban-nuyorican style - choosing its material
carefully from the classic hits
of greats like Eddie Palmieri, Ray Barretto and the
Cuban phenomenon Irakere.
