ARTIST INFO
MALO - Celebrating 40 years of Music
Legendary Latin Rock band Malo is one of the most successful and enduring bands in the world. Their 1972 hit single, "Suavecito" is the ultimate Hispanic love song, and four decades later, still one of the most played tracks on classic radio.

Malo's line-up has been a virtual who's who of Latin Rock all-stars, including trumpeteer Luis Gasca, percussionists Pete & Coke Escovedo, Francisco Aguabella, and Victor Pantoja, keyboardist Richard Comode, musicians Tom Poole, Raul Rekow, and Pablo Tellez, as well as lead vocalist Richard Bean (of Sapo fame). Emilio & Gloria Estevan credit Malo with helping them to create their very own Miami Sound Machine. Malo has toured the world, playing with such rock greats as The Rolling Stones, WAR, Tierra, El Chicano, and Queen, and still continue to tour extensively, forty years after their debut.

"Founding member Arcelio Garcia, who has stuck through "the thick and thin" of the music business, still enjoys, and is thankful for, his ability to play for several generations of fans, people who keep bringing their grandchildren to Malo shows."

LAVA
Lava is a funky brew of Latin Jazz, Cha-Cha-Cha, Rock, Funk, and Salsa, lead by Bay Area Coguero Delbert Ojeda, who has studied under Pete Escovedo and Tam Saguyan. Lava covers such artists as Santana, Poncho Sanchez and War as well as Latin standards that have been in the top 40 over the years. Featuring Mio "El Timbalero" Flores, the highly sought after Bay Area musician, this band brings the fire from London, Brazil, New York and France. Come feel the heat.

BLANCA
With a soulful voice and lyrics from the heart, singer songwriter Blanca Sandoval has captivated audiences. By means of an unrivaled sound that blends together her Latin musical roots with rock, funk, jazz, and up beat ballads, her style is extremely diverse. Known as "The Sweetheart of Latin Rock, Inc", Blanca recently brought together some very talented musicians to form the band "BLANCA" which includes Robert Zamora (lead guitar), Mike Juarez (drums) and Oscar Tablada (bass). The new four/piece band has been pulling in their own audience and recruiting new fans everywhere they play.
