Mama Tumba
9:55am – 11:30am
PERFECT for breathing life into our 2018 AvoMargFest. For our first band of the day we introduce to you: Mama Tumba!!!
More about the band from their website:
Steeped in African and Latin based rhythms, they combine old world indigenous rhythms, songs, chants and dance with new world instrumentation and arrangements that stimulate the spontaneous movement of your body, soul and spirit. In other words they groove HARD and make you want to dance, shake, groove and move.
In other words these grooves make you want to dance, shake, groove and move. That is our goal and our mission, to create such deliciously groovy sounds that its not a choice but an imperative to get your groove on and enjoy yourself while listening.
The band is based in the San Luis Obispo area and is comprised of some of the most accomplished world beat players the Central Coast of CA has to offer.
Damon Castillo Band
12pm – 1:30pm
It’s 12 o’clock somewhere… and that location is the 2018 AvoMargFest!!! It’s time for ice-cold margaritas and soulful rock to get us to our happy place. For that, we’re going to need a healthy dose of the Damon Castillo Band!!!
More about the band from their website:
Damon lives in San Luis Obispo, a town on the central coast of California. Oprah and National Geographic said it was the happiest place in the country, so you know it’s true. He operates out of Laurel Lane, a studio he put together with his friends on the south side of town.
Damon just released his new album “Mess Of Me”. He wrote and produced it and had help with some mixes from nine-time Grammy Award-winner F. Reid Shippen. Aaron Sterling (John Mayer, Sara Bareilles, Gavin Degraw) played some drums on it, and longtime band mates, Larry Kim (sax) and Kristian Ducharme (keys) also contributed.
