Diego’s Umbrella (ska)
What:
Born in the fiery cauldron of Babylon, Diego’s Umbrella started rising on the Northern California coast. With the seed planted by Vaughn and Tyson, DU slowly grew to the monster it is today. While its home base is in the San Francisco Bay Area, the troupe has managed to solidify worldwide acclaim and has toured internationally for years.Violinist Jason Il Borgo and Bassist Kevin Blair came on board early in the project, and the 6-some was rounded out by Singer Benny Leon and Drummer Jake Wood.
The lively stage show has garnered them a cult following and their music is a niche of its own. Called everything from Mexi -Cali Gypsy Pirate Rock to Klezmer Flamenco Ska, the music has had clubs and bars singing along for years. A mixture of Eastern European traditions, with pop sensibility and punk rock energy, has had audiences going wild all over the world. Don’t miss out.
