Angel Roman & Mambo Blue

About Me

Mambo Blue is a new eclectic band to the Nashville scene. We are a fusion of Latin Afro-Cuban rhythms, Funk and Jazz, performing mainly original compositions. The band was conceived in Jacksonville, Florida and soon became a favorite amongst musicians and lovers of this idiom. Before leaving Florida the band recorded their first Cd titled Con Fuego . I moved to Nashville in April of 2002,it took two years before I was able to establish Mambo Blue again. The new incarnation is composed of Nashville season veterans and young talent. Presently the band has completed their second CD titled Angel Roman & Mambo Blue .
