Let The Rumba Kings transport you the shores of the Mediterranean – where music and passion collide!
The Rumba Kings defy expectations with their captivating live performances. Although their name suggests a focus on rumba, the band’s repertoire extends far beyond that genre. Their music draws from a wide range of influences, resulting in a diverse and enchanting experience.
At the heart of their show is the Spanish guitar, which takes center stage alongside a string quartet and various other instruments, while guest vocalists make up a portion of the performance, the majority of the show is instrumental.
The Rumba Kings prioritize showmanship, infusing their soulful and passionate music with a visually engaging performance. Guitarist George Stevens adds a visual dimension by dancing while playing and connecting with the crowd, enhancing the overall experience for the audience.
ABOUT THE RUMBA KINGS
Formed in June 2015 by Johnny Bacolas and George Stevens, The Rumba Kings (see Wikipedia Article here) is a Seattle-based band that defies genre boundaries. Influenced by diverse musical styles ranging from Spanish-guitar influenced style of The Gipsy Kings to the Mediterranean-inspired instrumental melodies of Yanni, their music takes listeners on a journey through the Mediterranean. While their name may suggest a focus on rumba, the name is a bit misleading. The Rumba Kings’ repertoire encompasses a myriad of music influences, creating a rich and dynamic sound that transcends several genres, combined with the most powerful live show on the world stage.
The band’s journey began when Bacolas and Stevens met in May 2015 and discovered a shared musical vision for their dream music and live show.
By January 2016, The Rumba Kings had built a live set-list of original music and began auditioning musicians to form their first live band. They honed their performance through intimate gigs at small clubs in Seattle, steadily gaining a devoted following. As word spread about their passionate and energetic shows, the band graduated to larger venues, which later included the renowned Triple Door, various PAC’s, and various prestigious theaters around The Northwest.
The Rumba Kings continue to captivate audiences with their diverse and romantic blend of Pop, Latin, and Mediterranean music, creating a truly unforgettable experience for listeners and concertgoers.
