There are three things that you can only get in Washington D.C., The President, Go - Go Music and Mambo Sauce.
This electrifying group takes their name from the mystery sauce popular at Chinese/Soul Food carry - outs throughout DC. Just as nobody really knows what’s in Mambo Sauce (the sauce), Mambo Sauce’s (the band) musical virtuosity will always keep you guessing as to what’s coming next. Comprised of seven of DC’s most proficient, young musicians, Mambo Sauce has created a new form of music, “Pocket” that effectively blends DC Go - Go percussion with well crafted songs, explosive raps and sultry melodies.
Put Go - Go music, Kanye West, No Doubt and Outkast in a blender. Blend until the top pops off, and that might scratch the surface of where Mambo Sauce is going. As Techno, House, Trance and Jungle are all forms of Dance music, and Dub, Dancehall and Ska are all variations of Reggae, “Pocket” is likewise a new, but similar form of Go - Go. By incorporating elements of a variety of music ranging from Latin to Soul, Hip - Hop to Rock into their songs, Mambo Sauce puts their individual stamp on the genre. As the only existing Go - Go band playing all original music at present, Mambo Sauce and their label Red C Records intend to use “Pocket” music, to infiltrate the international music market with the DC Go - Go sound.
