Chilie Willie Groove is the stage name of multi-instrumentalist and percussionist William Portela. His music reflects his travels - across continents, and cultures - and drew large crowds to the outdoor concert venue of Monterey Court.
His journey started in Puerto Rico, and eventually brought Portela to Southern Arizona where he leads a Latin jazz band that plays shows year round.
