Led by master trombonist & arranger Denis Jirón,  RUMBANKETE reigns supreme in the greater Los Angeles area. This new group is the only musical force currently performing contemporary Cuban dance music (timba). The band plays in various formats but prefers to perform with its full 14 piece line-up. Its front line includes singers Gonzálo "Chalo" Chomat (ex Conexión Salsera) and Iris Sandra Cepeda (ex Arte Mixto), both consummate musicians from Cuba who have made LA their home. Rumbankete has been packing LA area clubs such as the Mayan (capacity 2000) and the Conga Room (capacity 1050) located in the new downtown Nokia Center.
