📍 The Momo Lounge @ The Monterey Motel
2402 Central Ave SW, Albuquerque, NM
Join us for an unforgettable evening of Latin rhythms, soulful vocals, expressive guitar, and world-class percussion at The Momo Lounge. Three of New Mexico’s most accomplished artists—Felipe Ruibal, Justin McLauchlin, and Tony Quiñones—come together for a powerful night of music and storytelling.
🎤 Felipe Ruibal: A celebrated vocalist from Pojoaque, Felipe’s music is deeply rooted in New Mexican and Latin tradition. From parish choirs to award-winning work with Nosotros, he has earned honors including Best Vocalist, Traditional Hispanic Song of the Year, Album of the Year, and Latin Entertainer of the Year. His blend of bolero, folk, and Latin soul—paired with heartfelt emotion—makes every performance unforgettable.
🎸 Justin McLauchlin: A lifelong musician and multi-instrumentalist, Justin brings melodic depth and versatility to the trio’s sound. With early influences ranging from The Beatles to metal and thrash, his musicianship expanded through jazz, bluegrass, and country before earning a degree in Music Composition from NMSU. A former member of the Latin band Nosotros, Justin has toured internationally and now performs with Alex Maryol, The Porter Draw, and his passion project, The Ordinary Things. His guitar, bass, mandolin, trumpet, and piano skills add rich layers to every arrangement.
🥁 Tony Quiñones: A 2022 New Mexico Music Hall of Fame inductee, Tony is a true legend of Latin percussion. Born in the Bronx and raised among icons like Tito Puente, Machito, and Tito Rodríguez, he later performed with these very artists. After moving to New Mexico, Tony helped define the state's Latin sound—creating hybrid salsa and cumbia styles, teaching at UNM, and performing with his renowned group Ayocuan. His congas bring fire, authenticity, and the heartbeat of Afro-Caribbean rhythm.
✨ Together, this trio blends culture, experience, and New Mexico musical heritage into a performance full of groove, emotion, and vibrant Latin soul.
🍸 Pair the music with handcrafted cocktails from The Momo Lounge, including favorites like the Blueberry Lavender Tom Collins and the Green Chile Vodka Margarita, made with premium local spirits in a cozy retro-modern space on historic Route 66.
🔥 A celebration of Latin roots, New Mexico talent, and exceptional musicianship—don’t miss Felipe Ruibal, Justin McLauchlin & Tony Quiñones live at The Momo Lounge.
