Rhythm, history, and Caribbean spirit come alive as GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY Award–winning saxophonist David Sánchez brings his vibrant new project Tambó to the stage. Inspired by the powerful musical traditions of Loíza, Puerto Rico and San Basilio de Palenque in Colombia, the music pulses with Afro-Caribbean rhythm, expressive improvisation, and deep cultural roots. The evening begins with a short conversation between Sánchez and award-winning journalist and La Brega host Alana Casanova-Burgess, offering a glimpse into the stories behind the project before the music takes over for a dynamic live album presentation. Don’t miss this immersive night of rhythm, heritage, and celebration.
