Nuevo Montuno

Artist Website / Tour Dates / CD Store



NUEVO MONTUNO performs on the Eden Hall stage on Saturday May 10th @ 115AM EST. (See full schedule HERE)

THE STORY: NUEVO MONTUNO is a 9 piece Salsa Orchestra that draws inspiration from 1970's New York Salsa. Although based in Asheville NC, the group has Venezuelan, Puerto Rican, and American roots. Formed in 2005, Nuevo Montuno has been gigging around the Southeast, and pushing the Salsa movement forward wherever they go. Lush trombones, a superb rhythm section(conga, timbales, bongos, bass, piano), and clever improvisations by singer Manuela Soler give the group its infectious, tropical sound. Irresitably danceable!
