Thank you, it was a pleasure being part of your special day and we look forward to playing again for any of your future musical needs!
I am the event planner for a luxury apartment community in Hollywood and we hired Mambop for our Cinco de Mayo event. Many of our residents are in the entertainment industry, and they were SO impressed with Mambop! By the second set, residents were up and dancing and enjoying the party. The male lead singer of Mambop was a power house of energy with a great voice! Also, Jim was incredibly easy to work with-- we had a clear line of communication, he was flexible with our specific needs on the day of the event, and he got there early to set up. As an event planner, that was a HUGE relief! I highly recommend this band!!

Thanks so much for the great review. Our band really enjoyed playing for your audience and we had as much fun as they did.
We hired Mambop to play a short set to close out our nonprofit's anniversary celebration and can't thank them enough! They had excellent communication throughout the booking and planning process, met our specific needs for a 30-minute set of Cuban inspired music, and got our guests up and dancing. Everyone was RAVING about their performance. We would definitely have them back and hope we can give them a longer set time for the next event! They were incredibly understanding about venue requirements, matching the setlist to the venue and celebration, and available performance space. We are so grateful for their service and would 110% recommend them for your event!
Mamboson was easy to work with and very accommodating. They provided a solid evening's performance that was a hit with our audience. They handled their own sound and their seven-piece lineup was energetic, versatile, and danceable. They made for a very enjoyable outdoor concert experience here in Joshua Tree. We'd love to have them back!

Thank you Emilia, it was our pleasure playing for your family event and even more so that the birthday honoree enjoyed it! 😊
Mambop played for my mom’s 60th Havana Nights Party! They definitely put the icing on the cake with there great music, carisma, professionalism. My sisters and I felt comfortable the moment we met Jim for the first time. Our moms party was a hit thanks to these guys and lady they were happy, friendly knew exactly how to keep the party dancing all night. No one in our family had ever had a salsa band in any of there events! My mom was super fascinated and in awe when she had this great band for her big day! Thank you Mambop !

Response from Mamboson (Mambop):
Wow. Thank you Petty. Your review really makes us feel great that we can be such an important part of a family event such as yours. Hopefully we have sold your family and friends on having Salsa at your future events. Thank you for the great review.
The City of Fontana would like to recommend Mambop to other event planners and organizers that are seeking professional and quality band performances. To date, the City has utilized Mambop for multiple performances during the City's salsa night series entitled, "Noches con Ritmo," located at Center Stage Theater. The skillful musicianship and engaging performances provided by Mambop is highly enjoyed by all audience members surveyed.
City staff particularly appreciated the professionalism of the band; booking dates, contract and paperwork items, and day of event logistics, were easily navigated matters due to Mambop's ability to understand the event needs, goals, and effectively communicate with staff in a cooperative nature.
The City of Fontana anticipates inviting Mambop to perform at future events and encourages other organizations to take the opportunity and experience their musical talents and professionalism.

Wow, what a great band and perfect for our event. The music was fantastic and they really got the crowd moving! Super easy to work worth, they bring a great sound system, and we would absolutely use them again for another event. Well done Mambop!

Response from Mamboson (Mambop):
Thank you very much Glen. You had a great appreciative audience and we're glad we were able to put on a great show for them. We had a lot of fun and would be glad to do it again.
We have hired Mambop multiple times to perform at the Fontana Center Stage Theater for our program--Noches con Ritmo--salsa music and dance.
Each time they have performed, our customers have loved the music and ask us to bring the band back. Quite possibly even more telling, some event attendees only come to our event when Mambop is performing.
The band members have always been easy to work with, professional, and willing "to go the extra mile" to secure the gig and generate customer satisfaction. Their attention to detail shows through in their music quality and business relations, making it easy to work with them before and during the performance.
We would have them out performing for us more often if we could - our highest salsa event attendance record is still held and maintained by Mambop.

Wow. Thank you for such a wonderful review. I'm glad our attention to detail, focus on presenting an entertaining experience and being professional shines through. We hope to play for you for many years to come.
I first heard Mambop in Claremont, my wife and I were having dinner and heard the band playing down the street. We literally left our dinner half-eaten (we paid our bill) so we can go discover what is now one of our favorite bands. Since our discovery, we have followed Mambop to various venues and had them play at several of our events. Our dealings with Jim and the band were very pleasant and professional. The band arrived on time, treated all our guests in a professional manner, and most importantly was extremely entertaining. All of our guests enjoyed themselves and until this day, continue to talk about Mambop. Now, the only downside is that I find myself looking for any reason to celebrate so we can hire Mambop again.
If you enjoy Latin jazz/Latin music, I strongly recommend you go see Mambop live or if you are looking to hire a band for your own venue - you cannot go wrong with Mambop!

We love playing for your events Mauricio. We also love playing both Salsa and Latin Jazz and appreciate clients who enjoy both styles of music that we play. We're glad you heard us that night playing at the Hip Kitty in Claremont.

Mambop played at my daughter's reception a variety of great Latin dance numbers and really nice jazz numbers during dinner. I was amazed at how the music got everybody up to dance. The members of the band are professional, courteous, and consummate musicians. I recommend them highly for any special occasion you might have.
