Orchestra Mambo International live in Nottingham

Experience Orchestra Mambo International live on November 18th

Orchestra Mambo International presents a performance on November 18, 2026, at Peggy’s Skylight in Nottingham, United Kingdom. The ensemble specializes in reviving and performing classic Latin mambo and cha-cha-chá music, drawing heavily from the vibrant dance band traditions of 1950s New York – particularly the sound pioneered by figures like Tito Puente and Machito. Their arrangements typically feature strong brass sections, driving percussion, and energetic rhythms designed for dancing.

Peggy’s Skylight is a relatively new jazz club and bar established in Nottingham in 2022. Located above the Flying Horse Walk, it occupies a space previously used as office accommodation. The venue was conceived as a dedicated listening space for live jazz and related genres, aiming to recreate the intimate atmosphere of classic American jazz clubs. It's known for its focus on high-quality sound systems and a carefully curated programme showcasing both established and emerging artists. The interior design incorporates mid-century modern aesthetics with a focus on creating a warm and inviting ambiance. The club quickly gained recognition as an important addition to Nottingham’s cultural scene, receiving awards for its contribution to live music.
