Pulling Out the Stops
Tonight: Final NoCal Klímax show at Yoshi's SF
It turns out Klímax conguero Julio López is also a tremendous rumbero - photos by Tom Ehrlich
Klímax's debut Northern California tour is ending all too soon. In many ways they're playing an even tighter and more aggressive form of timba than they did in the 1990s. The percussion section - together for 15 years now - is absurdly tight, even by Havana standards, and the metales are by far the cleanest, most powerful and most in-tune trumpet-sax section since Los Metales de Terror. Vocal harmonies sublime and great dance routines - although Julio López overshadowed everything with his multi-part rumba-changó tour de force performance, with local hero Christian Pepín covering the congas.
Don't miss tonight - the Giants game will be over by the time they hit at 8:00 andYoshi's has a nice screen in the lobby.
