¡Tumbao! live in Asheville

Experience ¡Tumbao! live on September 4th

¡Tumbao! is scheduled to perform at Pack Square in Asheville, North Carolina on September 4, 2026. The band delivers a vibrant sound rooted in salsa dura, a particularly energetic and brass-heavy style of salsa music originating in New York City during the 1970s. Their performances often incorporate elements of other Latin rhythms including mambo, cha-cha-chá, and guaguancó, alongside modern arrangements. ¡Tumbao! is known for its tight horn section and dynamic stage presence.

Pack Square Park, the venue for the concert, occupies a significant place in Asheville’s civic history. Originally developed in the late 19th century as a marketplace and public gathering space, it has undergone several transformations. The square was redesigned in 2016 with enhanced landscaping, a splash pad, and improved accessibility features intended to better serve as a central community hub. It’s situated in downtown Asheville and surrounded by historic buildings and commercial establishments. The park frequently hosts public events including festivals, concerts, and farmers' markets; functioning as a focal point for cultural activity within the city.
