YORDAN & THE CUBAN MARTINEZ SHOW

There is nothing quite like a good dose of Yordan Martinez’s Musica cubana— meaning in the purest Havana cabaret fashion of those who welcomed the members of Buena Vista Social Club before Buena Vista Social Club even existed—to make you forget all your troubles, put you in a good mood and get you grooving. The golden age of Cuban music is at the heart of the musical arrangements by trombonist and musical director Martinez, whose mission is to relentlessly spread his island’s unique music to an even greater number of people across the globe. The spectacular salsa, cha-cha-cha, timba, rumba, and bolero produced by this 2011 gold winner of Syli de la musique du monde are chock full of energy. There’s going to be dancing!
