Concerts on the Creek: ¡Tumbao! with DJ G

Make the most of the in-between by joining us each month for a mid-day performance at the Hub RTP stage!

This Month’s Artists:

Formed in 2019, ¡Tumbao! has wasted no time in capturing the hearts and ears of audiences wherever they perform. From legendary venues along the United States east coast to festivals that celebrate the very essence of world music, this ensemble’s popularity is skyrocketing. The band’s dynamic stage presence, stellar musicianship, and infectious energy create an atmosphere that is impossible to resist.

More than heart-pounding rhythms and irresistible melodies, The band provides a cultural journey that celebrates the rich traditions and diverse heritage of Latin America. By blending musical elements from different regions, ¡Tumbao! creates a multicultural experience that unites people from all walks of life.

Coming off from a record-setting international tour for the nine person Psychedelic Latin Fusion ensemble, – having shared the stage with Grammy Award winning acts like Kabaka Pyramid, Proyecto Uno, and legend Mavis Staples, with performances at stages such as the Grassroots Festival Circuit, The Smithsonian, a featured artist at Jazz in the Garden in Washington, DC and CocoJazz Fest in Lima, Peru – the band has reached a new height of popularity, expanding its fanbase beyond its original Latin American and East Coast roots.
