Yambambo is a dynamic 10-piece band featuring three powerful Latina frontwomen, led by the talented multi-percussionist Gabriel Cerna. Although Gabriel's presence in the band is new, his deep roots in the salsa scene stretch far and wide. Established in late 2023, Yambambo pays homage to the legendary salseros and timberos while infusing their own unique styles into the music.
With a bold vision, Yambambo is committed to leaving a lasting impression and gaining recognition throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond!
