Great Hits of the Latin Ladies
Be completely blown away by the explosive sounds of the 16 piece “Mucho Mambo” orchestra fronted by Monica Trapaga.
Boasting Sydney’s best known jazz and Latin musicians, “Mucho Mambo” transports the audience back to the big, bold and brassy sounds of the 40’s, 50’s & 60’s Latin New York.
Featuring the music of the cream of the Latin Ladies of those eras, Monica performs classics from the likes of Rosemary Clooney, Celia Cruz, La Lupe, Abbey Lane, Selina Gonzales, Omara Portuonda and many more. This unique experience showcases the golden era of the Latin and Jazz genres with a full Latin line up of brass and percussion to get you cha-cha-chaing and mamboing ‘til late into the night.
Monica & the Moochers
Monica & the Moochers wowed audiences in the early 90’s by featuring some of the best young jazz musicians in the country, coupled with stinging arrangements and the sultry, sassy, Monica out front.
They released 2 critically acclaimed cds at that time “Too Darn Hot” and “Cotton on the Breeze”. Both albums were excellent demonstrations of Monica’s fantastic vocal range and her band’s skilful mastery of the jazz beat.
Monica and the Moochers are still doing what they do best. An 8 piece band, they guarantee to bring any event to life with their infectious blend of forties and fifties swing with a little bit of Latin thrown in. Great for larger gatherings of 100 plus people, just make sure you’ve got a dance floor ready.
Monica Trapaga & John Morrison’s Swing City
Enjoy an event of big band proportions with a 14 piece group, featuring the awesome sounds of John Morrison on drums, a big band including some of Australia’s hottest musicians and a swinging performance by Monica. If the event calls for it, we can include a hip group of “jitterbug” dancers to bring your dance floor alive.
This band promises to be the hottest combination on the music scene and, with the sassy sultry Monica out front, you’ll get all the vibrancy and colour of the old days. If you want to be fully entertained and hear and dance to the hippest big band music in the land then this is the show for you.
The ability to provide a full evening of entertainment makes this act a particular favourite with the corporate set.
Ella Fitzgerald Tribute show
Monica and John Morrison’s Swing City also have available a very special tribute to “The First Lady of Song”. Re-live that scat singing and experience a unique showcase of all time favourite jazz songs made famous by the woman whose duets with Louis Armstrong became classics. Ella Fitzgerald, whose career spanned more than five decades, was one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.
