Lookie Lookie: 

New England's Top Bugalú Band


Featuring two of the grand maestros of the Boston Latin music world, Vicente Lebron (Dominican Republic) and Jorge Arce (Puerto Rico), along with music director Russ Gershon (Grammy-nominated arranger), Lookie Lookie plays music from the golden age of the '60's and '70's, when Mambo, Bugalú and Salsa ruled the clubs and airwaves.

Playing songs by Ricardo Ray, Joe Cuba, Eddie Palmieri and others, Lookie has been thrilling audiences in New England since 2013. With four percussionists, three horns, bass and six vocalists, their sound ranges from a Havana rumba to a Latin Jazz orchestra. They are beloved by dancers and listeners alike, playing boleros, cha-cha's, mambos and more.

Lookie Lookie's music and style creates a welcoming party atmosphere for all, with rhythms that skilled salsa dancers enjoy, but also work for freestyle rock dancers. Most vocals are in Spanish but some are in English.

Note set times: 9:30 and 11:15
We skipped playing at Accurate this summer because, as some of you know, it can get a bit hot up here. We did miss it, and we especially missed having you here. So the Ides of September will find us back in the loft with our two new members, Eric Ortiz and Edilio Bermudéz, and ready to BU-GA-LU.
As always, basic admission of $20 gets you in for an eight piece band, beer, wine and food. You are heartily encouraged to BYO and help the cause, and there are opportunities for you to ante up a little more loot if you can afford it.
Those with move to give have that option on the pre-sale tickets, too. The eight members of the band and the "venue operator" appreciate every penny.

Bugalú para el siglo XXI (the 21st Century)
Lookie Lookie revives great 1960's songs by Richie Ray, Joe Cuba, George Guzman, Pete Rodriquez, Eddie Palmieri, Jimi Hendrix (?)...
Four percussionists, three horns and a bass, with everybody singing, means breaking waves of rhythm and melody.
And remember, you don't need to know the first thing about Latin dancing to shake your booty to Lookie Lookie. But if you are an expert, that will work too. And it ain't no crime just to listen: with eight fine musicians up there, there is plenty for the ears.
