Come join us for a special music concert event as TEATRO Si presents an evening with the New Bojaira Flamenco - Jazz Band on Friday, May 3, 2024 at 7:30pm. As part of the popular Latin Jazz @ Galeria music series, this experience will bring to you an exciting fusion of true American jazz and deeply rooted flamenco.
New Bojaira (Bō-hī-ra) plays an original and engaging fusion, blending jazz improvisation with the excitement of flamenco rhythms, dance and singing to create a powerful combination of energy and subtlety on stage, taking audiences on a fascinating multi-cultural excursion.
Currently on a concert tour from Spain, this creative group bridges the musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic delivering a sound that speaks to both Jazz and Flamenco fans. Pianist Jesús Hernández, singer/flautist Alfonso Cid, saxophonist & flautist Peter Branin, double bassist Tim Ferguson, drummer Mark Holen and flamenco dancer Elisabet Torras generate the band’s uncommon energy with flamenco rhythms and the harmonic depth of jazz. New Bojaira's music transcends both styles creating a new and wonderful synthesis....
