Samba Bamba’s 15th anniversary
Samba Bamba ("Sergio Mendes meets the B-52’s")
celebrates with a rare club gig at Martyrs’.
Far right: Monty "Sugarloaf" Mattachine (played by Richard Knight)
Lupe Lowenstein, a Mexican-Jewish singer with an amazing voice (portrayed by Jen Zias) & Lindo McCartney, the cute busboy who sings & dances (portrayed by Victor Salvo) (above photo, far left).
Samba Bamba is backed by 5 of the city’s legendary musicians:
Gerald Dowd, Scott Stevenson, Randy Henry, Steve Dollinger &
Jazz great Kirsten Gustafson will perform for
this special gig ("Goostie" was our original lead singer).
3855 N. Lincoln/Chicago, IL / Doors 7:00 pm/ SHOW 8:00 pm/ $8.00
It’s a mix of great music & hilarity
– all tossed in the martini shaker
& uniquely "sambasized."
