YORDAN MARTINEZ & THE CUBAN MARTINEZ SHOW - SALSA AND CUMBIA EVENING WITH STÉPHANIE OSORIO

Les Étoiles Nuits d’Afrique Series, presented by La Fabrique Culturelle de Télé-Québec

To get your legs moving and uplift your spirit, nothing beats a good dose of Yordan Martinez’s Musica Cubana, which is to say, music in the purest tradition of Havana’s best cabarets, where members of the Buena Vista Social Club played before they became the Buena Vista Social Club! The golden age of Cuban music is at the heart of this arranger, musical director and trumpet player’s musical scores since his mission is to spread the island’s rhythms across the globe to reach as many people possible. Son Cubano, salsa, cha-cha-cha, timba, rumba and bolero are all featured by this winner of the 2011 Syli d’or de la musique du monde, who is also a regular on Radio Canada’s En direct de l’univers. Sensational and energetic – let the dancing begin!
