About
Bassist Carlos D’l Puerto is a living legend of Afro-Cuban music. As a founding member of the seminal fusion group Irakere, whose other members included Paquito D’Rivera, Arturo Sandoval, and Chucho Valdés, he helped create a new genre of jazz and Cuban fusion. He’s been an essential part of the Afro-Cuban scene ever since, but he rarely appears in the U.S. For this special performance, D’l Puerto will be joined by a stellar lineup of jazz horn players and percussionists, including Cubanos Yosvany Terry and Jesus Diaz. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear a real Cuban master at work!
