Poncho Sanchez Tickets

Paquito D'Rivera did not show up. Poncho and band looked tired.

What an incredible musical experience under the heavens. Casteneda and Sanchez are amazing musicians and soulful artists that pour their heart and soul into the music. It filled the air with rhythms from around the world. My husband and my best friend attended and we did not want it to end. What an amazing evening. Please continue in this vein of bringing in Latino artists.

Even though there was a lot going on, as is typical of Latin music, it wasn't "busy". Carter Barron theater is a great venue. What a great night!

Seeing Poncho again was great. Being from Orange County and a regular at Steamer's Cafe I had a great time at the show. Love the new album.

Hearing Poncho Sanchez and band was terrific. From the beginning to the end Snachez put on an outstanding performance. If you did not come, you must a great performance!! Hope he comes next year!

Pancho and the band were excellent!! Well rehearsed & fiery band. He live up to the legend!! Beautiful venue, easy parking. Please bring in many more latin and jazz acts.

He started 20 minutes late which was only excused because his band is so good. Excellent selection of tunes, plus energy level was up and stayed that way. His conga solos were syncopated, complicated jazz, not typical straight latin. Wish the performance could have had a break and a second half (translation - more playing time).

I really enjoyed te whole concert. I would love to hear more. I will check out his salsa cd's.

This was an awesome concert. Without a doubt, a 5 STAR presentation!!! The sound was great and every player was in sync throughout the whole concert. The event was well organized and very professional. Poncho is a great and extremely humble artist. I can't wait 'till next year!

Right from the start we knew we were in for a treat. You just knew you were about to have a great time. Poncho and the Latin Jazz Band truely enjoy what they do and it shows in every note or beat they play. With an eclectic mix of salsa, blues, soul and straightahead jazz, there's something in a Poncho Sanchez Latin Jazz Band for everyone. I would highly recommend seeing these guys do their thing and do it better than anyone around today. BEWARE!!!! You may actually find yourself dancing in your seat and smiling from ear to ear.

The concert on Friday, September 25, 2009 was superb. The hall was just the right size, the sound was excellent, as I sat literally in front of the sound board. All that percussion is not easy to balance, along with having the bass notes actually be distinct. Bravo! This night was an example of a master practicing. The openness and freedom the players have always comes from the leader, and it showed. The arrangements were tight and disciplined when that was called for. When the maestro had something to 'say', everyone on stage and off listened. After a life time of recording and the wide range of musical styles Poncho has mastered, the only disappointment could have been there just wasn't enough time to sample more. I said 'could' because the set list still managed that unlikely feat. If this is the beginning of a tour to support the new album, I'd love to hear that last night of the tour!

This concert was like being at a wedding where everybody is talking & dancing with each other on the floor. Thanks to those two women who helped get the dance floor going. They got my boy friend up and dancing. The music was great as usual. He did not play any of the tunes he did with Mongo Santamaria, which was a disappointment, but all the music was good.

Great venue for a very tight band. Poncho has a deep rich voice that blends well with his orchestra. The trombone player was out of this world. The timbales were very syncopated and awesome. Salsa music at its best. Enjoyed the show.

PONCHO NEVER LET'S HIS FANS DOWN. PEOPLE WHERE DANCING IN THE ISLES, SOME PEOPLE NEVER SAT DOWN. WILL GO SEE HIM WHENEVER HE'S IN TOWN.

This is the 3rd time we have seen him and his group. Twice at the Conga room. Each was an outstanding and exhililirating experience, filled with joy energy and charm. Will see him again and again. Have invited others who share my experience. Performing at the Conga Room added a dimiension that other venuew do not. An unforgettable expereince from boththe artist andthe venue, teh food at theConga room was also superb.

Poncho Sanchez took stage and set the room on fire with syncopated rhythms, dazzling drum-work, and soulful vocals. The band dazzled the audience with crisp tight accents designed to drive the Latin party themes home. My favorite part of the show was when Poncho added a salsa twist to some rhythm and blues standards and disco favorites. He dominated the show with his infusion of mature interpretations of salsa classics designed to drive the fortunate few into frenzied gyrations and pulsating sexy dance moves. Count it all joy. Poncho was Awesome!!!!!
