Join us in July as we welcome a jazz concert with infectious Latin American rhythms!
Afro-Cuban jazz is rhythmically based on Cuban popular dance music with a rhythm section employing ostinato patterns or a clave and mixing it with the vibrant colors of old Havana.
The dynamic jazz of Cuba and Latin America comes to the Jazz club with Canta La Tumba in concert. A unique blend of vocals, supported by striking strings, drums and bright brass interludes that evoke the playful vibe of the tropics.
Afro-Brazilian jazz includes sambas and bossa nova rhythms as performed by Stan Getz and Antona Carlos Jobim.
What makes Brazilian jazz so special is its irresistible rhythm and melodic complexity. The syncopated beats of samba and bossa nova are layered with jazz improvisation, creating a rich and dynamic sound.
Meet the Musicians…
Afro-Percussionist and vocalist Natalie Richy, Guitarist singer Murray Wall, Double Bass Nik Davey and Drummer, ‘Chicken George’ Downes from the Bahamas sets pulsing Caribbean beats for dancing in rumba and samba settings. The sound is then completed by the rich colour and tone of Stephen Ewart’s energetic trumpet lines that are woven throughout the music.
The Canta La Tumba musicians will enchant, with their evocative repertoire including a sprinkle of the World-famous Buena Vista Social Club, Jazz from Cuba.
Doors and Bar 12pm. Show 1pm – 3:30pm.
