Tickets:
If you are looking for an opportunity to get your heart pumping and your feet
moving to the sound of gypsy rumbas and Cuban guajiras, stop by ________________
on _______ night, where you’ll listen to the Juan L. Sánchez Ensemble.The
ensemble brings their socially-conscious world music on a regular basis to performing
arts centers and festivals throughout the Western U. S. and Canada.
The ensemble features the gritty singing style, humor and socially conscious songwriting
of Juan L. Sánchez, a native of Málaga, Spain (the birthplace of
Picasso and Antonio Banderas!). In addition to him, the band boasts two of the
most well-rounded musicians in the Bay Area: Paul Contos and Dayan Kai. Paul is
arguably one of the finest reedsman on the West Coast, exuding incredible virtuosity
and lyricism on both flutes and saxophones. This 15 year veteran of the Monterey
Jazz Festival has traveled the world and shared the stage with the greatest: from
Dizzy Gillespie to Wayne Shorter.
Dayan Kai cannot boast the same resume as Paul - well, he's only 27 - but his
genius can be appreciated by anyone with a pair of ears. Here is someone who is
lacking the sense of sight, that can switch with David Lindley-like ability from
12-string to charango, pan pipes to trumpet, guitars, piano, vihuela, accordion,
etc. Finally, and not to be outdone, the rhythm section will feature Steve Uccello
on stand-up bass and guitarrón, and Noe Hinojosa on bongos and Latin percussion.
So if you don't plan to travel with the ensemble to Arizona, Sonora, Nevada, or
Colorado in the next few months, catch them in your own backyard on a rare small
venue appearance. Your Cosmopolitan soul won't regret it!
