Warm up a March evening with the spicy sounds of Trombanga, a nine-piece Salsa and Latin Jazz band that will play live for the finale of the North Mason Timberland Library’s 10th anniversary program series. The all-ages event will be held Friday, March 28 from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in the main part of the library, rather than in the meeting room, so that people will have plenty of room to dance or can just get comfortable and enjoy the music. Refreshments will be served. The evening is sponsored by the Friends of the North Mason Timberland Library.

Trombanga, which means “heavy trombones” in slang Spanish, is a nine-piece band that specializes in Latin jazz, Salsa, Merengue, and Cha Cha. Trombanga was born by mixing Malo Castro’s Latin jazz quintet, “Clave con Jazz,” with Bud Parker's arrangements for five trombones. The band has performed throughout the Pacific Northwest. The Olympic Peninsula is home to all the members.

The trombone-with-rhythm-section sound has a long history in Latin Jazz. Recording artists Eddie Palmieri, Willie Colon and others have used two and three trombones to back groups. But Trombanga uses four trombones with a Latin rhythm section, making this a unique Salsa band. The band’s Web site is www.trombanga.com.

The library will close at 5 p.m. as usual on the day of the concert and reopen at 7 p.m. Regular library services such as computer use and checking items in or out will not be available. The concert is being offered as a celebration to the community the library serves.

The North Mason Timberland Library is located at 23081 NE State Route 3, Belfair. For more information, please contact the library at (360) 275-3232.
