MUCHO MAMBO
Following amazing sellout shows MUCHO MAMBO returns to Camelot for a high energy night of Big Band Salsa and funky Mambo with the world class Mucho Mambo Latin Big Band.
To help celebrate the night there will be a Mucho Mambo CD giveaway on entrance.

Featuring Australia’s best Latin and Jazz musicians, Mucho Mambo has been blowing audiences away since 2002 with their tight arrangements, brilliant musicianship and unique visual elements.

The Mucho Mambo experience is one of a kind in the music world, a truly authentic and timeless Latin Big Band. The orchestra’s dynamic and distinctive sound and world class big band arrangements will definitely fill the dance floor and make Camelot shake like never before.

Mucho Mambo’s unique sound blends bold, brassy riffs and driving percussion with big brass arrangements and cool old style Latin grooves. Mucho Mambo’s sound builds on the classic orchestrations and rhythms of the 1950’s and 1960’s and moves through to the great Big Band Salsa sounds of today, always reinventing them with a funky new edge.

Booking is highly recommended, Mucho Mambo has sold out every time at Camelot.

$30 | 7.30pm, show 9.00pm
Delicious food (including pizza!) available. Fully licensed – NO BYO. Please book carefully – as no refunds, credits or exchanges on tix! All ages welcome (but under 18s must be accompanied by an adult)
