Generation Esmeralda featuring Jimmy Goings

Generation Esmeralda performs on August 17th at Angelicas in Redwood City. Longtime Redwood City resident Jimmy Goings is thrilled to bring the music of his group to the newly remodeled venue, for a great night to be remembered.

Generation Esmeralda, featuring original lead singer Jimmy Goings is the EXCLUSIVE tribute to the music of "Santa Esmeralda", and includes members of the original touring band: Tom Poole (Malo, Etta James, Boz Skaggs, Tommy Castro) Tony Baker (the DeFranco Family, the Drifters), and Mick Valentino (Eddie Harris, Roger Smith, Jerry Goodman). Perhaps best known for their hit disco remakes of the 1960s hits "Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood" and "House of the Rising Sun", the group Santa Esmeralda is now Generation Esmeralda featuring Jimmy Goings.

Generation Esmeralda's sound is a savant mix of high energy Latin rock dance grooves with melodic hooks , a gypsy-infused Flamenco style and impressive guitar licks, augmented with a splash of cha-cha and punctuated by a driving 4-piece horn section. With band members Greg Jones on bass; Patrick Morehead on keyboards; Mike Rinta on trombone; Steffen Kuehn on trumpet; Roberto Quintana on percussion and the newest additions of 'T' Moran on drums along with Louis Fasman on trumpet, this band is poised for greatness. The impressive performances by this unique ensemble are now bringing joy to fans both young and old.

Originally formed as a production project in 1976 by Jeanne-Manuel de Scarano and Nicholas Skorsky in Paris, France. Santa Esmeralda was inspired by the heroine of the same name from the Victor Hugo Classic "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". The group has come back together through the urging of trumpet player, Tom Poole, from the original "Santa Esmeralda Touring Band" and Brazilian promoter, Sergio Lopes. Goings and Poole have assembled a world-class band, and are touring this exclusive tribute to the spirit and music of Santa Esmeralda.
