Join us for a special evening featuring guest artist Jesus Diaz and his unique blend of modern Cuban music! Mr. Diaz is a world-class percussionist, vocalist and composer whose musical vision includes both traditional Afro-folkloric sensibilities as well as ultra-modern Cuban "Timba" stylings. We will be presenting several of his original compositions that you most likely have never heard before! The music is guaranteed to perk up your ears - and dancing in the aisles is encouraged!
The event takes place on Sunday June 1 at 7:30 in Dinkelspiel Auditorium on the Stanford Campus. Get your tickets early here! You won't want to miss it. For more information, visit latinjazz.stanford.edu.
Arriving to the US from Habana in 1980, Mr. Diaz has established himself as one of the most innovative musicians in the Afro-Latin genre. He has toured, recorded or performed with such artists as Stevie Wonder, Carlos Santa, Dizzy Gillespie, Giovanni Hidalgo, Jose Luis "Changuito" Quintana , and the Carribean Jazz Project. He also leads the Bay Area's premier Timba band "Jesus Diaz Y Su QBA" which has released several albums of original Cuban music including "Caramelo" and "El Jardiniero".
