“Summer Sounds” Free Lunchtime Concert | Oakland

Fito Reinoso

If variety is the spice of life, your life is about to get a whole lot spicier thanks to the eclectic mix of music offered up by this charismatic Cuban-born sonero. Michelle Wallace of The Owl Mag described their sound as “A funked-out mixture of Cuban music from the folkloric jibaro to mambo, son and rumba, the end result makes for spectacular dance music and one hell of a good party.” A major force in the Bay Area Latin Music scene for over a decade. Fito and his band, Ritmo y Armonia, have entertained audiences everywhere from Yoshi’s to The San Francisco Jazz Festival to The San Jose Jazz Festival. They’re also regulars at salsa dancing spots such as The Ramp, Elbo Room, Cigar Bar and Jelly’s.
