The Mantecas (formerly known as Manteca) is an eight piece, London-based, Latin jazz, soul, and boogaloo band well known for creating a party mood at festivals and gigs everywhere they go, from Glastonbury, Ealing Festival and Tropical Pressure Festival to The 606 Club and The Jazz Café in London. They have a particular ability for bridging the culture gap with any audience getting all crowds up hitting the dance floor in a jive. The Mantecas will blow your mind with a mesmerizing mix of salsa, Cumbia, funk, Latin jazz and boogaloo. For this new release album, the band is exploring the legacy of some of the jazz giants through a Latin lens, reworking timeless pieces by Coltrane, Shorter, Davis, Hubbard, and Perkins, giving them the infusion of Latin rhythms while remaining true to the jazz language.
