YOLO MAMBO has been impressing audiences in Northern California for almost 10 years with their unique multicultural fusion of World Music and Jazz. Their trans-global rhythms will transport you to Brazil, Cuba, Peru, Cape Verde, France, Spain, New Zealand, and the USA. Lead vocalist Catherine LeBlanc, a master of multiple languages with many published songs to her credit, also plays ukulele, plains flute, and percussion.

Songs include originals and standards from Etta James to Lila Downs in English, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Completing the four part harmonies are Phil Summers (Spanish guitar), Carla Campbell (percussion), and Steve O’Neill (upright bass).

Their CDs receive consistent five-star ratings on online music sites such as iTunes and CDBaby. They perform at The Palms Playhouse, Sutter Creek Theater, Squaw Valley Olympic Village, Whole Earth Festival, Robert Mondavi Center for the Performing Arts, Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento Tree Foundation, Nevada County Fair, and many other venues.
