July 16 at O'Day Park in the South End Folklore Urbano Orchestra

These rhythmic infusions bring energetic explosions from each member of the orchestra that will leave the audience on its feet.
July 23 at Mozart Park in Jamaica Plain - Sonatempo
Sonatempo will introduce and play music in a variety of Latin styles such as son, bolero, cha-cha-cha, and guaguanc . Their repertoire and arrangements are committed to preserving the tradition and roots of the music, captivating the listener while serving as exciting dance music.
July 30 at O'Day Park in the South End Ola Fresca
Ola Fresca weaves musical bridges that connect Cuban son, salsa, timba, and funk. Under the direction and creative energy of Jose Conde, the band has evolved a swinging, fearless tropical sound directly from Brooklyn, New York.
August 6 at the East Boston Greenway The Zahili Gonzalez Zamora Project
Zahili Gonzalez Zamora's music is a fusion of different genres that sets its foundation in the deep traditions of Cuban music, bebop, funk, and soul while giving a nod to more current artists such as Michel Petrucciani and Erykah Badu. Although her heart resides in the smoky parlor of 1940s Minton s alongside giants of American music such as Thelonius Monk and Miles Davis, Zamora s ensemble nevertheless dances with D Angelo and Paquito D Rivera in the clubs of modern Los Angeles, embodying the new vision of a global music community.
