Item Description
Be the winning bidder on this and take three of your friends to see the amazing Afro-Cuban All-Stars show on Saturday night May 4th at 7:30 in the beautiful San Francisco Jazz Center. Seats are on the Main Level Row G, seats 107, 108, 109 and 110 - right in the middle of the action!
Led by Juan de Marcos, founding member of the Buena Vista Social Club, Afro-Cuban All Stars are a sensational showcase for Cuba’s most prodigious young musicians.
It was de Marcos who assembled Ibrahim Ferrer, Eliades Ochoa, Ruben Gonzalez and the rest of the crew for Ry Cooder when he came to Havana looking for illustrious old timers. But de Marcos is just as interested in promoting Cuba’s brilliant young musicians as in highlighting Cuba’s senior talent. The Afro-Cuban All Stars not only features a multi-generational cast, the group draws on both classic Cuban styles like son and danzón and contemporary dance rhythms like timba. “What I’m trying to do is create a bridge between contemporary and traditional Cuban music,” de Marcos says. “I’m trying to mix both things so people can realize that Cuban music didn’t stop in time, that it developed in this long period when Cuban music disappeared from the market.”
The Village Voice proclaims "A thrillingly autentico survey of the colorful panorama of Cuban music, from religious batumbata beats through contemporary timba jams."
Not to be missed!
