Malo Live in Concert September 23, 2011

Legendary Latin rock band Malo is one of the most successful and enduring bands in the world. Their 1972 hit single, "Suavecito" is the ultimate Hispanic love song and, four decades later, still one of the most played tracks on classic radio. Malo's line-up has been a virtual who's who of Latin Rock all-stars, including trumpeteer Luis Gasca, percussionists Pete and Coke Escovedo, Francisco Aguabella, and Victor Pantoja, keyboardist Richard Comode, musicians Tom Poole, Raul Rekow, and Pablo Tellez, as well as lead vocalist Richard Bean (of Sapo fame). Malo has toured the world, playing with such rock greats as The Rolling Stones, WAR, Tierra, El Chicano, and Queen, and still continue to tour extensively, 40 years after their debut. Malo's current lineup includes: founding member Arcelio Garcia, lead vocals and leader of the group; Jorge Santana, lead guitar; Gabe Manzo, guitar; Gus Bogios, bass; David George, drums; Daniel Cervantes, keyboards; David Chavez, congas; Gibby Ross, timbales; Jack Musgrove, trumpet; Brian Beukelman, trumpet; and Pete Rodriguez, trumpet/trombone. Malo's guitarist Gabe Manzo and his band, Manzo, will open the show at 8 p.m.
