Mambo Rico, a salsa dance band based in Ashland
Instrumentation: piano, bass, 4-piece percussion
section and a 4-piece horn section. Four band
members also sing.
The traditional coro/pregun (call and response) salsa song form is used - with lead vocals sung against
backing vocals (coro) and horn lines. Most of the repertoire is up-tempo salsa music - with some more relaxed
Cha Cha Cha's and Boleros (ballads) mixed in.
The typical Mambo Rico dance concert features Maya Lyn starting things off with a dance lesson.
The lesson introduces participants to salsa dancing and serves as a warm-up for the live music.

Veronica DeLeon Piano/vocals
Jimmy Garcia Vocals/trumpet
Marshall Mueller Saxophones/vocals/horn arranger
Cindy Eggers Flute/vocals
Brendan Girard Tenor Saxophone/vocals
Chris Wood Congas/percussion arranger
