Samba Bamba's 15th anniversary

Samba Bamba ("Sergio Mendes meets the B-52's) celebrates its 15th anniversary in a rare club gig at Martyrs. The band is: Monty "Sugarloaf" Mattachine (played by Richard Knight), Lupe Lowenstein, a Mexican-Jewish singer with an amazing voice (portrayed by Jen Zias) and Lindo McCartney, the cute busboy who sings and dances (portrayed by Victor Salvo). We are backed by five of the city's legendary musicians (Alejo Poveda, Gerald Dowd, Scott Stevenson, Randy Henry, Steve Dollinger). It's a mix of great music and hilarity -- all tossed in the martini shaker and uniquely "sambasized." For this special gig, our original lead singer Goostie (jazz great Kirsten Gustafson) will perform. Doors 7 p.m., show 8 p.m. Martyrs, 3855 N. Lincoln
