ASERE! A Fiesta Cubana

April 7, 2019 @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm

On Sunday, April 7, 2019 at 7 p.m. at the Performing Arts Center, Cal Poly Arts presents ASERE! A Fiesta Cubana, featuring musicians and dancers of the Havana Cuba All-Stars. This high-energy concert delivers a lively and colorful celebration of Cuban music and dance styles in a joyous spectacle filled with rich culture.

The Havana Cuba All-Stars are some of Cuba’s greatest musicians. With rhythms and melodies from the cha cha to the rumba, from “Son Cubano” style to the salsa, the All-Stars will showcase a wide variety of Cuban beats. The group is inspired by, and dedicated to, promoting the entire tapestry of Cuban music through a fresh, contemporary lens.

In their “Asere” (“Friendship”) tour, the All-Stars will be backed by three of Cuba’s finest dancing couples. With the finest dancers and musicians of Cuba working in tandem, the American encore of the Havana Cuba All-Stars’ tour will be a spirited evening, exemplifying Cuba’s greatest musical traditions.

 

“Throughout the performance, toes were tapping, hands were clapping and hardly an audience member could find the discipline to sit still as delightful, fun and infectious rhythms took effect.” – Times Enterprise

 

A pre-show lecture will be led by Cal Poly professor Maria Munoz-Christian, beginning at 6 p.m. in the Philips Lecture Hall, adjacent to the Performing Arts Center.
