Press Reviews Harry Rios is another rising superstar on the local Latin jazz scene. Hailing from Puerto Rico, this multi-talented performer honed his musical skills as a member of the U.S. Navy band. This guy is considered a virtuoso on many instruments: trombone, bass guitar, the steel drums, lead guitar, and the baritone horn. His band, Los Monstruos, is no musical slouch either. There are so many great sounds coming from the stage during one of these shows that the audience can’t help but to get up and dance. This music makes you move your feet. As a musician, arranger, composer, and a bandleader, Harry Rios does a great job of juggling it all and making it look easy.
