Crowd-pleasing Conga Bop-a supergroup coalition of top artists in jazz, dance, and drumming-will have you tapping your feet and dancing in and out of your seat! Bandleader Ed Fast, who has performed around the world with icons including Aretha Franklin and Paul Anka, fuses Afro-Cuban rhythms and hard-bop harmony to create unique, soulful originals and creatively arranged jazz standards. The powerhouse collaboration also features exceptional jazz vocalist Dina DiMarco, celebrated for her electrifying style and arrangements of jazz standards, Broadway classics, and more.

The multi-talented ensemble includes Ed Fast (bandleader and percussionist), Dina DiMarco (singer), Steve Davis (trombone), Josh Bruneau (trumpet), Nathan Edwards (tenor saxophone), Jorge Fuentes (conguero), Pedro Gonzales (bongos/timbales), Matt Dwonszyk (bass), Gianni Gardner (guitar), and Savana Jones (dance).

"As the percussion playing leader of Conga Bop, the hard-swinging Latin jazz ensemble, Ed Fast has become a celebrated figure in town through his band's many well-received appearances in Hartford." -Hartford Courant
