ENGLISH:  Even though he is universally recognized by knowledgeable listeners in the United States as one of Cuba's most important pianists and Jazz artists, it has been many years since Ernán López-Nussa has been presented in a festival setting worthy of his stature in a key US city, so his presence at the 10th Anniversary of Miami's Global Cuba Fest is welcome news. The anniversary event takes place March 18 from 7pm-11pm at the Miami-Dade County Auditorium, and the event features several other notable artists. 
You can read a lot more information about the artists, the festival schedule (which includes other dates), and how to by tickets HERE. 
Kudos to FUNDarte for bringing Ernán to Miami!




ESPAÑOL: A pesar de que él es universalmente reconocido por oyentes conocedores de los Estados Unidos como uno de los pianistas y jazzistas más importantes de Cuba, ha pasado muchos años desde que Ernán López-Nussa fue presentado en un festival digno de su estatura en una ciudad importante en los EE.UU., por lo que su presencia en el 10 º Aniversario del Global Cuba Fest en Miami es una buena noticia. El evento de aniversario se llevará a cabo el 18 de marzo de 7 pm a 11 pm en el Auditorio del Condado de Miami-Dade, y el evento cuenta con varios otros artistas notables.

ENGLISH:   From my point of view, the International Symposium held by CIDMUC (the Center for the Research and Development of Cuban Music) which takes place in Havana May 16-18 this year,   is one of the most interesting things about Cubadisco - lectures, debates, demonstrations of instruments etc.   However, it is also held entirely in Spanish, and it is often at a high technical level, so if you are not hispanohablante,  check out the multiple other wonderful things on this website.  My observation (I have attended before) is that those who attend the symposium without knowing the language find themselves  lost very quickly.  However,   if you do undertand Spanish, more details are available in the Spanish version of the post below. 
ESPAÑOL :  Desde mi punto de vista, el Simposio Internacional organizado por CIDMUC (el Centro de Investigación y Desarrollo de la Música Cubana), que tendrá lugar del 16 al 18 de Mayo de 2017, es uno de los eventos más interesantes durante la Feria Internacional Cubadisco. Puede leer los detalles aquí.........

Tom caught these two masters playing as a duo at St. Louis' Jazz at the Bistro and a few days later at the Jazz Standard in NYC. The second gallery is the Pedrito Martínez Group, also at the Jazz Standard, with new full-time bassist Sebastián Natal (a multiple threat talent who also plays piano with La Temáti-K).

Stay tuned for video pending approval of the artists. Also coming from Tom are photos from the historic 9th Annual San Francisco Salsa Rueda Festival with Timbalive backing a Van Van tribute lineup of Pedrito Calvo, Robertón, Samuel and Yeni.
