Club Habana An Evening of Cuban Jazz
Club Habana An Evening of Cuban Jazz features one of the most influential figures in modern Afro-Cuban jazz, Alfred Thompson. The exceptional saxophonist, composer, arranger and Grammy award winner will be joined by other prestigious Canadian Cuban Jazz musicians including Miguelito Valdés (trumpet) Israel Berriel (bongo & congas) Pablo Cárdenas (piano), José Sánchez (percussion), Danay Sinclair (vocals) and Roberto Riverón (bass). Audiences can expect outstanding instrumental performances and stimulating new music from the collaboration of such top-flight musicians.
Club Habana An Evening of Cuban Jazz explores the new frontiers in contemporary Cuban jazz, presenting a repertoire inspired by the creative fusion of Spanish and African cultures -the two main sources that gave rise to what is now known as Afro-Cuban music. The style draws on several diverse cultures of Latin America and others found across the world, revisited through jazz improvisation and extended experimental vocal techniques. The concert is a bold fusion of Afro-Cuban ritual music, popular Afro-Cuban styles, rock, and blues. Reflecting the spirit of the music, it is a true fusion between North, South, and Central America with an emphasis on the infectious rhythms from Cuba and Africa.
