Join us for an evening celebrating the iconic Cuban charanga Orquesta Aragón, one of the most beloved Cuban music groups and global ambassadors. The beautiful polyrhythms of Afro-Cuban music and balletic European contradanzas meet in hits such as “El Bodeguero” and “Pare Cochero.” Richard Egües, nicknamed la flauta magica, is famous for his distinctive flute playing and catchy songwriting for the group during the danzón and cha-cha-cha craze of the 1940s/1950s. This performance pays homage to his innovations and influence to this day.
Flutist Ceylon Mitchell leads Raíces Negras, a modern Cuban charanga ensemble full of award-winning musicians, providing sonorous melodies and rhythmic grooves that will move your body! With polyphonic percussion and harmonious vocals, this dynamic and unique flute-led ensemble celebrates traditional Cuban forms and Latin Jazz with classics as well as commissions in a fun, improvisatory style. ¡A Gozar!
