Mazacote is the hard-swinging, old-school salsa group of legendary percussionist Louie Romero, who came to fans’ attention as the longtime timbales player for famed salsero “El Cantante” Hector Lavoe. Louie is also renowned for his work with Willie Colón, Rubén Blades, Celia Cruz, Ron Carter, and other salsa and jazz stars in his native New York.

Based in San Francisco, Mazacote plays a crowd-pleasing, high-energy mixture of classic salsa favorites and original latin jazz tunes. It’s no wonder that Latin Beat magazine called Mazacote “one of the premier salsa ensembles in Northern California.” [website]

Julio Bravo was born in Lima, Peru. He demonstrated his passion for the arts at a very early age appearing on children’s television programs, school plays and several theatrical productions.

Julio arrived in the United States in 1989 with high musical aspirations and began performing with “Trio Los Chalanes,” becoming increasingly popular within the Latin Americancommunity, particularly the Peruvian community.

In 1991 Julio appeared on the television show “Buscando Estrellas” -the Latin version of Star Search- making it to the finals and giving him a tremendous amount of exposure and opportunities. Julio joined Orquesta Internacional in 1992, performed regularly throughout Northern California gaining individual notoriety and was increasingly in demand as the featured act.

In 1994, Julio decided to assemble his own orchestra, Salsabor. Based in San Francisco, California, Julio Bravo started recruiting talented musicians and securing bookings for the band at local nightclubs and private venues.

Julio has recorded two Peruvian music albums: “Jarana Peruana” and “Cerca de Ti” and is currently working on his first salsa CD featuring his original compositions. Julio’s unique interpretations and distinctive style are the band’s trademarks. [myspace]
