Summer is here, and Friday Nights are alive again on Main Street in Tiburon. Here’s a video of Mas Que Nada (one of my favorite all time songs) performed by Ritmojito, a special guest joins Sandra Aran of Ritmojito towards the end. Be sure to check out the live music schedule at Servino Ristorante.

This is one of my favorite bands, and they’re perfect for a place like Servino’s Ristorante. They have a really nice playlist which is jazzy and romantic for dinner, and transitions gradually through the evening to latin/ska/salsa that will get you on your feet as you party into the night.
