Cumako

A Latin dance band that blends Venezuelan/ Afro-Cuban/Flamenco rhythms with eclectic world sound and sophisticated Jazz Improv, Cumako is at the forefront of the new Latin/Fusion movement in the world.

A new Calgary-based band, Cumako has an intensely energetic rhythm section that combines with their powerful horns to create a unique rich fusion of sound. Percussive influences include the Cumbia, Cha-Cha, Salsa, Spanish Flamenco and Jazz.

Inspired by the musical roots of Venezuela, Mexico, Japan, Canada, Bolivia, and Cuba. Cumako is truly an inspiring fusion of world music.

And what better way to wind up this year’s JazzFest than on the Terrace of the Esplanade, dancing and listening to great Latin inspired music.

No advance tickets are being sold to this festival closer. JazzFest volunteers get first dibs on the seats up until 7PM. Then any available seat goes on sale to the public. It’ll be worth lining up for!
