Jazz Fusion All-Stars WILD MANGO Reunite for One Night Only in a Benefit Concert for Rhythmix's Youth Arts Education Programs

This highly acclaimed and much beloved all-woman band features a wealth of Bay Area musical talent from the realms of Latin jazz and world music, including Michaelle Goerlitz on percussion; Jackeline Rago on cuatro, percussion, mandolin and vocals; Donna Viscuso on flute, saxophone and harmonica; Jan Martinelli on bass; Susu Pampanin on Middle Eastern percussion; and Erika Luckett on guitar and vocals. The band's albums—Made in Mango, Oba and Circulo Vital—take listeners on a world tour, moving from merengue to bolero to samba to funk with rich undertones of Middle Eastern spice.

Their set promises stellar musicianship, stirring vocals and an irresistible groove. Wild Mango delivers a feast of exotic musical flavors, served up with great energy, passion and style. Don’t miss this special opportunity to see the band reunited for one night only!

All proceeds benefit Rhythmix’s Performance, Art & Learning (PAL) program, which provides cultural arts assemblies to youth in Alameda and Oakland at no cost to schools.
