This event is presented by the West End Cultural Centre, the Winnipeg Jazz Festival, and Feast Bistro.
As soon as you mention Papa Mambo, people react with excitement.
Created by Chilean-born classical guitarist Rodrigo Muñoz in 1989, Winnipeg’s Papa Mambo started out as a spirited party band and soon became recognized as one of the most skillful, exciting and important innovators in Canada’s Latin music scene. The group features some of Winnipeg’s most sought-after musicians.
This ten piece ensemble has played the Jazz Winnipeg Festival almost every year of the Festival's existance as well as the Montreal Jazz Fest, the Vancouver Jazz Fest, The Halifax Jazz Fest and The Winnipeg Folk Festival mainstage (twice) amongst others, the ensemble has 3 CDs to its credit plus several original singles. Papa Mambo has also performed music on a symphonic level, having had sold-out shows both with the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra and the Thunder Bay Symphony Orchestra. Under the leadership of the charismatic Muñoz, the band delivers the goods each time they play.
Located across the street from the West End Cultural Centre, Feast Bistro was the obvious first choice for this partnership. As a pillar of the West End community, the menu at feast features modern dishes rooted in traditional First Nation food. The staff at the WECC love Feast as much as the West End community does, and when we brought the idea to them, they were immediately interested in the partnership.
