Rumba Calzada's countless performances, festivals, tours and sold out shows across Canada, the US, Malaysia and Philippines has set a standard for authentic Latin Jazz and Salsa music.
Originally formed in 1991 by Boying Geronimo and now headed by his son, Raphael Geronimo, the band has recorded four albums with an array of nominations, including a Juno Award (2003 World Music Album of the Year), Westcoast Music Awards (2002 Outstanding World Recording of the Year) and Canadian Independent Music Awards (2002 Best Global Album).
In 2008 the band performed at the Borneo Jazz Festival, in Sarawak, Malaysia and was voted the "crowd favorite" to return in 2009.
With airplay and media praise around the globe, including Montreal, Miami, New York, LA, Columbia, Venezuela, Peru, Malaysia and Manila, Rumba Calzada is gearing up for more shows and recordings, with an all-new album planned for 2023.

“If great things are worth waiting for then this soulful almost mesmerizing, project proves it.”
“...a world class Latin Band.”
“This one stays in the CD player. A classic.”
“...guaranteed to move your feet and reach your soul.”
