MOMOTOMBO-SF
Doors: August 23, 2025 7:00 PM
MOMOTOMBO-SF is a 10-piece group of prominent San Francisco Bay Area musicians, comprised mainly of notable alumni of Malo and Santana. MOMOTOMBO-SF concerts feature the music of both Malo and Santana, the iconic San Francisco native bands from which MOMOTOMBO-SF's core members came.
Leo Rosales is a legendary original member of Malo, and Gabriel Manzo was the lead guitarist for over 32 years! Momotombo-SF’s mastery of the exciting interplay of Latin Jazz and Rock, driven by Latin rhythms and Afro-Cuban beats, creates a powerful and authentic Latin Rock sound straight from the adventurous, psychedelic days of Winterland and The Fillmore. The name MOMOTOMBO-SF comes from the title of the first song on 1972's Malo Dos album, "Momotombo," which is also an active volcano on the shores of Lago de Managua, Nicaragua. SF is for San Francisco, where the explosive sounds of groundbreaking Latin Rock erupted. Come experience the Energy!
