Mambo Sauce

OFFICIAL SITE  ::  MYSPACE  ::  FACEBOOK  ::  TWITTER

Mambo Sauce – the electric-red mystery concoction that is a staple comfort and must-have of Washington, DC, has found itself a namesake, and a sound. Mambo Sauce (the band) brings to life a tapestry of unparallel musicianship. Although their sound is oft described as mystical, it is undisputed by their vast array of loyal fans that this coveted band looks, feels and sounds like pure, unadulterated music. Jawn Murray, Entertainment Reporter with the Tom Joyner Morning Show and columnist with AOL Black Voices called the group’s sound “the quintessential savior the industry needs to return authenticity, quality and pure rhythm to music.” Mambo Sauce delivers a fresh fusion of old-Soul (think Marvin Gaye), new school Hip-Hop, cross-bred with Rock and the deep and thick percussions of Go-Go, the indigenous sound of DC.

Mambo Sauce’s high-energy live performance typically begins with the melodic chords of Grammynominated musical director and keyboardist, Christian “Chris” Wright. He is solo until joined by the powerful rhythms of a true phenomenon – rightfully coined the heartbeat of the band, drummer Patricia “Twink” Little. Then bassist, Khari Pratt, alerts the crowd of his dramatic presence, roaring and thumbing along the bass strings, and producing deep sounds that infiltrate the listener’s soul. Percussionist Jermaine “Pep” Cole then raps hard on the congas and timbales, stamping the true stylistic link between Mambo Sauce and Go-Go music. Lead vocalist Alfred “Black Boo” Duncan next takes the mic proving that he is not only one of the most talented and creative lyricist of his time, but that his unique vocal abilities add rawness to the Band. The ingredient of Mambo Sauce is only complete when the soulful and tantalizing vocals of lead vocalist Joi “JC” Carter are blended in the mix.
