MOMOTOMBO-SF:
Igniting the Stage with Explosive Latin Rock Energy!

Get ready to feel the heat with MOMOTOMBO-SF, a dynamic 10-piece powerhouse of San Francisco Bay Area music legends, featuring iconic alumni from Malo and Santana! This electrifying ensemble delivers the soul-stirring sounds of these trailblazing San Francisco bands, blending the fiery interplay of Latin Jazz and Rock with pulsating Latin rhythms and Afro-Cuban beats. Their performances transport you back to the psychedelic, boundary-breaking days of Winterland and The Fillmore, where Latin Rock was born.
Leading the charge is Leo Rosales, a legendary original member of Malo, alongside Gabriel Manzo, the virtuoso lead guitarist who commanded stages for over 32 years. Together, they craft an authentic, high-octane Latin Rock experience that erupts with passion and precision.
The band’s name, MOMOTOMBO-SF, pays homage to the fiery track “Momotombo” from Malo’s 1972 album Malo Dos—and to the active volcano on the shores of Lago de Managua, Nicaragua. The “SF” stands for San Francisco, the birthplace of the explosive Latin Rock revolution.
MOMOTOMBO-SF’s members are no strangers to greatness, having shared stages with icons like Santana, Jorge Santana Band, Sly & the Family Stone, Taj Mahal, Herbie Hancock, Tito Puente, Los Lobos, Pete Escovedo, Bo Diddley, and more. Their concerts are a celebration of this rich legacy, delivering unforgettable performances that pulse with raw energy and soul.
