Legendary Latin jazz percussionist Poncho Sanchez returns with his 31st recording, Live at The Belly Up Tavern. Recorded at the iconic venue in Solana Beach, California, this electrifying live album captures the raw energy and passion that have defined Sanchez’s storied career.

A GRAMMY Award winner for Latin Soul (Best Latin Album, 1999), Sanchez has spent decades honoring and expanding the Latin jazz tradition. With a discography that includes classics like Soul of the Conga, Latin Spirits, Out of Sight!, and Psychedelic Blues, his music bridges Afro-Cuban rhythms, hard bop, and soul, bringing the spirit of legends like Dizzy Gillespie and Chano Pozo to a new generation.

Following his tribute album Chano y Dizzy! and the dynamic Live in Hollywood, Sanchez once again delivers a masterful live performance, full of infectious grooves, rich storytelling, and blazing solos. Live at The Belly Up Tavern is a must-have for jazz lovers and fans of high-energy, soulful Latin music.
