Puerto Rican saxophonist David Sánchez brings Tambó to San Diego on Sunday, November 15, 2026. His quintet performs at Scripps Research Auditorium at 7:30 p.m. Pacific as part of the Athenaeum’s fall jazz series.
A Puerto Rican Connection Through Jazz
Sánchez’s official artist site traces his musical beginnings to Puerto Rico and the sounds of bomba, plena, salsa and Caribbean music. His recordings include Melaza, the Latin Grammy-winning Coral and Carib.
Tambó explores connections between Loíza, Puerto Rico, and San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. The project places their Afro-descendant musical traditions in conversation through Sánchez’s jazz language. For California listeners, this is a chance to hear a Puerto Rican artist whose work reaches beyond a single style or island.
