Bongo District

From the melting pot of cultures that blend in the Washington D.C. area, emerges a fusion of musical genres that is shaking dance floors and captivating music lovers attention; they are known as the Bongo District. Their mix of reggae, funk, and ska spiced up with a Latin flavor has earned them local recognition becoming one of D.C.’s most sought-after bands, playing as regular acts in top venues such as The Howard, The Fillmore, the Bluebeat Concert Series; as well as opening for established South American artists Los Cafres, Panteon Rococo, Los Rabanes, and Desorden Publico among others. Their unique blend of popular covers and original music makes their live act appealing to audiences of all ages, taking them on a trip through passages of relaxing reggae music to full-blown stadium-chant percussive parties. With a three- hour-plus repertoire under their belt, they can adapt to any size and style of venue without losing the enthusiasm that characterizes their live show; be it an outdoor stage, live venue, or a small local business, the entertainment is guaranteed. “El Distrito”, as they like to call their shows, is a judgment-free zone where they encourage audiences to express themselves while enjoying music in communion. Bongo District is currently recording their first original EP, which promises to evolve around the all-inclusive welcoming message they transmit at every one of their performances: “Thank you for joining and enjoying this experience with us, you are now part of our District...” A District where you are sure to find all your musical needs fulfilled.
