A master of satire beloved for his personal essays and short stories, Santa Barbara’s favorite comedic darling returns on the heels of Calypso, his new collection that takes a self-deprecating look at life, growing older and beach vacations.

Through a blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan-African styles (soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba), he has established himself as a pioneer with his innovative music. Since forming his Los Angeles-based band Makina Loca in 1990, Lemvo has refined his craft and vision, singing songs that celebrate life, and inspiring his audiences to let loose and dance away their worries.
His music has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “seamless and infectious.”
