johnny mambo & friends live at Daffodil Hill
Groove to the sizzling sounds of salsa performed by Bronx native Johnny Mambo and some of his close musical collaborators. Mambo’s band is propelled by energetic rhythms from hard-driving bongos, congas, and timbales, and punctuated by biting brass, transporting the listener to a San Juan dance club. Band lineup features Johnny Mambo (Bongo), Gilberto Velazquez (Vocals), Jesse Perez (Conga), Adan Perez (Piano), Jerry Madera (Bass) and Raul Navarrette (Trombone)

Join us at the Edible Academy for a play about our friend Gwendolyn.

Get ready for her to create characters and puppeteer them right in front of your eyes! Written by Dante Albertie and Mary Ann McSweeney.
