SUMMER NIGHTS @ TURNER SIMS
Internationally renowned for his masterful performances, world class violinist Omar Puente established himself as a true virtuoso in his native Cuba before moving to the UK in 1997, performing all over the world. Throughout his career Omar has supported and shared the stage with a whole host of other stars; Tito Puente, John Williams, Nigel Kennedy, Courtney Pine and Wynton Marsalis to name a few.
Tonight, Omar and his band fill the hall with music from his 2016 release Best Foot Forward, a fusion of rhythms from Cuba, Brazil, Africa, Caribbean, Jazz, modern UK sound and further afield. Join us for some irresistible Latin-infused jazz, rich with energy and colour – the perfect soundtrack to a balmy summer night....
