Rayo! is a world dance music band based in Nevada County, blending Latin, Afro-Cuban, and blues influences into irresistible, feel-good grooves. The five-piece group continues the musical legacy of the late Saul Rayo, a beloved artist whose spirit lives on through his songs.
Founded by his widow, Elena Rayo, the band keeps his work alive while infusing fresh energy with her own original compositions and reimagined classics. A virtuoso on the violin and fiddle, Elena leads a dynamic ensemble of longtime collaborators: Kim Kinjo (vocals/percussion), Thomas Schuebel (electric guitar),
Tim Ajeet Campbell (bass), and Mark McCartney (drums). With each member contributing vocals, Rayo! creates an electrifying, dance-friendly experience that transcends borders and generations.
