Rumberos Del Callejon

Rumberos Del Callejon is a New York-based ensemble founded by Venezuelan percussionist and producer Carlitos Padron, known for blending vibrant rhythms and danceable grooves in their music. The group, active since at least 2008, has released albums like *De la Nada*, *Construyendo*, and *10mo Aniversario*, showcasing collaborations with top-tier musicians. Their work spans live performances at venues like Lincoln Center and involvement in theater productions, reflecting Padron’s background in shows like *Celia Cruz – The Musical* and *On Your Feet*. The band’s recent tracks, including *Duda* and *Anuncio Clasificado*, continue their tradition of energetic, salsa-infused arrangements.

Carlitos Padron, a Caracas native, has led the group for over a decade alongside his career as a session musician and educator. His style merges Afro-Caribbean percussion traditions with modern production, as heard in their anniversary album and live tributes to Latin music icons. While specific details about the current lineup or recent album releases beyond their referenced catalog remain unclear, their presence in New York’s Latin music scene remains notable.
