Tumbao Bravo Latin Jazz at Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe
Tumbao Bravo, winner of three Detroit Music Awards, played authentic Cuban rhythms mixed with rich jazz harmonics on Saturday, January 11, 2025, starting at 6 p.m. at Dirty Dog Jazz Cafe in Grosse Pointe Farms. The band performed tight, fiery arrangements of their original compositions.
Formed in 2004 in Ann Arbor, Tumbao Bravo features saxophone, flute, percussion, trumpet, congas, timbales, keyboard, and electric bass, led by Paul Vornhagen. The group brought high-level musicianship with a mix of mambo, cha cha, rumba, and bolero rhythms combined with original jazz harmonics. Their own compositions featured melodic songs and sizzling solos, perfect for dancing. Their five PKO Records releases have been featured on top NPR Latin jazz programs and in feature film soundtracks. They've performed across Michigan and in cities like Toledo, Chicago, and San Francisco.
