Jesús Díaz y su QBA
|
Sunday, August 14, 2011 | Kaiser Permanente Salsa Stage | 2pm
Cuban born percussionist Jesús Diaz has quietly and assuredly established a place in the world of Latin and Cuban dance music. Jesús has assembled an orchestra of accomplished artists whose talents combine Funk, Jazz, Rumba, Son, and varied Afro-Cuban elements within the syncopation of modern expressions in Cuban music. This tradition is rooted in the firm belief in the importance of creating new and unique "signature" styles and sounds. The "drive" of the music is a direct function of remaining actively engaged with the dancers.
Most recently, Jesús Díaz y su QBA have shared the stage along with renowned Cuban artists such as Issaac Delgado and Manolin "El Medico de La Salsa," demonstrating that original Timba is indeed alive and well here in the United States. The band’s two most recent releases are Carmelo and Jardinero.
