Join Orquesta Rumba as they take you on a journey through the best of Latin American music. Under the direction of Angel Rodriquez, this 10-piece ensemble plays salsa, merengue, cumbia, bachata, mambo and more. The band's mambo medley features the tunes made famous by the later Tito Puente. Along with a wide selection of today's top hits, Orquesta Rumba plays a little of something for all Latin dance aficionados. Joining Rumba is Mexican vocalist Jesus Enriquz, a Sony RMM recording artist, who will bring "The Best of Mexico" to the stage. Trio Manases also takes the stage playing the ballads of Cuba, Venezuela and Colombia.
