Yahuba "El Pollo" Garcia: Home
Welcome to the Official website of Yahuba "El Pollo" Garcia
The Boston-born Puerto Rican Conga sensation has been lighting up the National music scene with so many different bands, it is hard to keep track. He is currently touring with The Ryan Montbleau Band as well as Martin Sexton.
In the language of his Puerto Rican ancestors, The Taino, "Yahuba" means music or a 'grito fuerte y sonoro' (strong musical scream). His instruments include congas, timbales, bongo, assorted percussion, and vocals.
As an educator he has been visiting schools, speaking and performing in front of children of all ages about his Puerto Rican culture, music and heritage. Yahuba is also a part-time private percussion instructor at the Bradford School of Music.
As a musician, Yahuba knows no boundaries, he embraces every style of music as if it was his own, and is true to the craft of showmanship. One only needs to see the charismatic joy he delivers through his music to understand how he got his name.
