Mike Scartezina also know as Tambor, is a Multi-Percussionist Renaissance Man, specializing in Brazilian, Cuban, Merangue, Salsa, Latin and Caribbean rhythms. I am also a singer, DJ, music and event producer. My career in Music and Culture started with a love for Capoeria and soon moved to learning percussion and congas. I have travelled and studied in both Cuba and Brazil, learning from Masters in these countries as well as several key players who reside in the Bay Area. I've been fortunate enough to share stages with some of the Artists that have influenced me.....Seun Kuti and Original Egypt 80, Big Sam, Conjunto Chapotine, Members of Ilê Aiyê, Graça Onasile Maria Das Graças, Marcio Peeter and more. I've also played with and collaborated with many accomplished Bands on the West Coast....DigginDirt, SunHopFat, Sambadá, Mio Flores Havana All-Stars, Franco Brothers Orquestra, Mobando, Afromassive, Albino, Omo Aiyê and Members of Olodum. Come on down to The Stone House and experience the sounds and energy of Salsa Dancing music! You won't want to miss this oppurtunity to see a Live Afro-Cuban Band.
