Hi Kathleen,
We are very happy to return to work for Center Lite after these years. The dancers had great energy that they transmitted to each beat of the music. We were quite impressed with the production of the event. The Cuban hats, the menu, the Havana banner on the stage and the trivia section made the event enjoyable, authentic and fun. Thank you for the opportunity and thank you for all your efforts for making it possible, including our participation.
Forever grateful,
Regards

Thanks Marie for your lovely review. It was a great pleasure to be part of your amazing Summer celebration. We felt that we were playing in a cruise ship. With all the amenities and treats. Forever grateful. Mambo Blue.
They were truly outstanding and we had a blast. Love them and our second time using for one of our events. This time a 60th birthday. I plan on bringing them back again soon. They know how to get the crowd going and singing is beautiful. I gave them a list of special songs and they incorporated seamlessly. They played everything we wanted, salsa, merengue, rancheras and much much. We even sang along and made for a very special time. Thank you 🙏

I booked this band for a corporate happy hour and I have never seen the crowd be so lively! So many people made it a point to mention how good the music was and how it was the best music we have had at a happy hour. The band definitely brings great energy and interacts with the crowd well. They are not limited to Latin music and I would love to have them at another event in the future!

Thank you Gordon for your lovely review. It was a pleasure and an honor to have played at your so well-produced and organized event.
We had a lot of fun with the dancing audience and enjoyed the succulent food and juices you provided. Once again thank you and God Bless you and the St. John's Episcopal hospital community.
I hired Mambo Blue to perform at an artists market at a open air shopping center and they were the perfect addition to the street fair set-up that we we had. I would love to have them back again! Very easy to work with and professional.

Mambo Blue performed for my sister’s birthday and did an amazing job. They were professional, energetic, talented and respectful of social distance precautions. They traveled far for the event and arrived early with plenty of time to set up and perform exactly on time. I would highly recommend them to anyone!

We were hosting a "Night In Havana" dinner party and, based on their background, took a shot and hire Mambo Blue. Amazing!
On a scale of 1-10...they were an 11.
They were delightful, flexible, professional and, most importantly, incredibly talented.
They sounded like a bad that was double their size and they entertained my guests with both background dinner music and get-out-of-your seats dance music.
They were even gracious enough to give us a salsa dance lesson.
As someone who has been to and hosted many parties, I have experienced all ranges of entertainment. Mambo Blue was the very best.
I give them my highest and most sincere recommendation.
Simply put, they made our party fun, memorable and exciting.
Book them now!

We love the Mambo Blue Band! Jose was exceptionally communicative and easy to work with. He asked questions to truly understand the experience we wanted for the evening. As a small nonprofit that provides cancer support to patients and their families, we really wanted this to be special evening for our members to come together and have fun. Mambo Blue did not disappoint! They immediately got everyone up and dancing. The energy in the room was incredible and felt by all in attendance. Both Jose and the singer were engaging and made people want to be a part of the fun. Everyone left smiling from ear-to-ear!
I highly recommend the Mambo Blue Band! We loved them and will absolutely be inviting them back to our Clubhouse in the future. Thanks for making our evening extra special, Mambo Blue!

As an educator of 10 years, musician of 15 and lover of music for as long as I can remember, I can honestly say it was an absolute pleasure to have Mambo Blue Latin Band at our event. From the moment I first connected with Jose over the phone he was kind, courteous, genuine, easy to talk with and helpful. We went back and forth over phone and email for the next number of days and it became clear that whatever I needed for the event, Jose and the band could pull it off.
We went with a 4 person band with music focusing on a variety of world styles. They arrived in a timely manner, setup all their equipment with ease and were ready to being playing at the agreed upon time. The night went off without a hitch - they played two sets of music (the first 45 minutes and the second 30). I am glad we changed our minds from the original plan and made them the center attraction for much of the event because everyone centered around them anyway! Students were dancing and having a great time while the adults sat back and enjoyed the great music.
At the end of the night, cleanup went quickly and the band expressed their gratitude for being part of the evening. Each member was positive, kind and seemed to have a good time themselves. Following the event, I can't tell you how many people commented about the band and what a wonderful evening it was. Thank you Jose and Mambo Blue Latin Band for making this event one of the most memorable events in my career and at our school. Without a doubt, this is the band to book for your event.
