BIO

The "SalsaChicago Mambo All-stars Orchestra" was started in 2006 by Chicago Salsa Instructor, and background vocalist Miguel Mendez and Chicago Pianist, Composer, Arranger & Musical Director, Jose Eliezer "Pepe" Armijos.

Eliezer "Pepe" Armijos started his musical career in his teen years as a guitarist in his native Ecuador. From there he came to Chicago where he learned to play Timbales and became one of Chicago's most recognized Timbaleros. But he still wasn't done, he decided he wanted to play the piano and for the last 12 years the Piano has been his area of concentration.

Miguel Mendez is one of Chicago's most recognized Salsa dance Instructors with over 15 years of teaching experience and has taught tens of thousands of Chicagoans how to dance. For the last year, Miguel has been honing his vocal abilities as a background singer with the SalsaChicago Mambo All-stars.

The remaining musicians come from a vast pool of highly talented Chicago musicians and lead vocalists which include Mr. Frddy Kenton, Rafael Benitez, Jose "Jr." Losada, Jose Acevedo, Nael Jaime, Eliud "El Topo" Diaz, Jayson Matiaz Baez, Tato "Suave" Otero, Efrain Otero, Pasqual Salerno, Everardo Rey, Jose Francisco, Jose Orcallo, Omar Garcia, Danny Hernandez, Raul "Timbal" Ortiz, Andrew Thompson and many more that would make for a second page.
