BOCA DO RIO

$12
Electro-Acoustic Brazil
Boca do Rio strips it down in the intimate venue of the Red Poppy Art House – a perfect setting for the Bossa Novas and Sambas emanating from this powerful trio. The classic sounds of nylon-string guitar softly strummed with a dancing melodic horn is anchored by the rhythmic powerhouse that is Alex Calatayud, one of Brazil’s finest and most unique percussive voices to emerge in years. Recognized by master musicians and music lovers alike, Alex Calatayud is featured on the timba, a traditional instrument used in an innovative way to bring together the soulful elements of rhythm and expression.
Alex Calatayud: percussion
Kevin Welch: vocals and guitar
Larry De La Cruz: saxophone and percussion
