Rumba night with Sonido & Caribe
Saturday 23 September 2023 from 7:30pm to Sunday 24 September 2023 12am
Doors open at 7.00pm
Spare Parts and Club York hosts an exceptional night of joyous grooves inspired by Latin traditions and birthed here! New original Latin Australian music from the 16 incredibly talented musicians of Sonido and Caribe at Club York from 7.30pm. Doors open 7.00pm. In an added bonus Cubano Youth Combo from Lismore are opening the night proving that Latin music is loved everywhere!!!
Sonido is a distillation of influences and experiences of 40 years of artistic expression. One that reflects adolescent summers spent on cricket and Andean music, of playlists that include Illapu, Irakere and The Isley Brothers, of marvelling at the songwriting prowess of Silvio Rodriguez and Victor Jara as much as Paul Kelly and Nick Cave. It is a music born of a love for their home, awe for their heritage and respect for the sacrifices of their parents’ generation that risked it all, voluntarily or by force, to build a new life in a strange place.
Caribe present a spectacular collision of Cuban-inspired music and dance with fabulous Cuban dancer Cruz Vazquez Borges and 8 amazing musicians. Caribé’s music is alive with spontaneous interplay and a crackling rhythmic momentum that showcases Cruz dancing and chanting to rumba, mozambique, mambo, guajira, son and more. They want you get up and dance, and tap into the good-natured communal spirit that is characteristic of Latin music at its timeless best.
In an added bonus young musicians from Lismore learning about Latin music styles and being mentored by Caribe will be in Sydney to open the show for a short set! In another bonus Cruz has prepared playlists of his current favourites to play in the breaks to entice you to keep moving.
