Biography
Hot Mambo is Queensland’s hottest Latin-Jazz dance band, whose infectious, high-energy grooves are guaranteed to bring any audience to their feet.
Since 1999, Hot Mambo has been performing traditional and contemporary Latin music. The repertoire features rhythms from Cuba, Columbia and Brazil, ranging from the fiery salsa through to the cool and sexy samba. The mix is well seasoned with funk and jazz elements from the popular songs of Gloria Estefan, Carlos Santana, Sergio Mendes, Tito Puente and Hot Mambo’s original compositions.
Having studied in Cuba, lead singer Wendy Murray interprets the songs with authenticity and passion.The jazz background of the bandmembers is the secret ingredient allowing them to spontaneously and instinctively interact. The result is a polished, cohesive and dynamic performance.
Hot Mambo has performed in every setting from formal functions to the festivals and has recorded a CD, Smoke Signals.
Feed The Fire, their live floorshow features Australian Salsa Dance champions Ellie Torres and Carlos Galiano - smooth, energetic, acrobatic and spectacular dancers.
