FUNDarte and The Rhythm Foundation present Issac Delgado in concert, on Saturday November 30th at 8:00 p.m. at North Beach Bandshell, Miami Beach. (7275 Collins Avenue Miami Beach, FL 33141)

El Chévere De La Salsa! One of Cuba’s most famous stars and a respected musical innovator, GRAMMY-nominated vocalist Issac Delgado returns to Miami with his new album. Lluvia Y Fuego (Rain and Fire) brilliantly showcases the effect of his return to his homeland and a re-investment in traditional song forms. The recording features lushly arranged original compositions and tributes to timeless Cuban sonero Benny Moré and Puerto Rican salsa king Cheo Feliciano.

A dazzling live performer who was mentored by legendary Cuban jazz pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba, Delgado helped pioneer the timba style, as lead singer of the wildly influential group NG La Banda in the late 1980s. Restlessly inventive, he has continually rewritten the rules of Caribbean dance music, constantly playing with time and tempo, employing jazz-inspired passages and mixing in cutting edge rhythms and avant-garde electronics.

“The Cuban singer Issac Delgado played a handful of shows in New York (and) his band was magnificent. A sonero — an improvising singer — he was one of the significant stars of timba, Cuban salsa with harder-hitting rhythm sections. You could stand agog at how complex the operation was, the interlocking patterns in clave rhythm that all seemed irregular, with Mr. Delgado’s midrange voice balanced on top of the music, commanding and swinging.”
– Ben Ratliff, New York Times
