MORE ABOUT LATIN RHYTHM BOYS: In 1963 Jr. Henry Miranda’s plan came to fruition. A lifelong Cuatrista, he brought his amazing music from Hawaii to California where he formed the group “Jr. Miranda and His Latin Rhythm Boys”. He inspired and mentored many, leaving behind a musical legacy for his sons Earl R. Miranda and Henry Miranda Jr.

Latin Rhythm Boys has now evolved into a powerhouse of high energy Puerto Rican Music that includes Salsa as well as their specialty Jibaro sound. Reminiscent of the FANIA All Stars, these bad boys of Latin Music are hitting the world by storm.

To date this phenomenal specialty band combines expertise sounds acquired throughout the Bay Area, Puerto Rico and New York City. Latin Rhythm Boys continue to captivate their fans and audiences with their unique musical style and stage presence. With two successful CD launches under their belt, “Musica De Mis Padres” in 2005, and “Year of The Cuatro” in 2013, they released their third CD project on December 2018, “CELEBRANDO – 60 Years Est.”, featuring multiple award-winning invited guest artists such as Grammy Award winner (the late) Johnny Polanco on Trombone and Tres Guitar, Artie Webb on flute, vocals by 8-time Grammy nominee and 3-times Grammy winner Willy Torres, as well as other Latin music luminaries like Chino Nuñez, and Jimmy Bosch, among others.

This week, we are announcing the transition of one of our beloved teammates and leaders, Tara Dalbo. During the almost six years that Tara worked at La Peña —first as a Production & Development Coordinator and then as Deputy Executive Director— she not only supported the production of events and artistic projects in our space, but she also helped rebuild our structural, administrative, and financial foundations as an organization. Because of her hard work, La Peña is now a much stronger and more sustainable center that can support and uplift our communities for years to come. Thank you, Tara, for allowing La Peña to thrive and grow during such challenging times!

As La Peña staff, we’ll make sure that we continue to build upon the work developed under Tara’s leadership. Tara, we’ll miss you so much, but —as you know— you’ll always be part of La Peña’s community, and we are excited for the next chapter of your professional journey!! Best wishes & see you soon!
