Celebrando el Día de San Lázaro Babalú Ayé

On December 17th, the incomparable Albita comes to S.O.B.s (Sounds of Brazil) concert club in NYC to celebrate Día de San Lázaro. Albita honors her Afro-Cuban roots with a show on the day of this Orisha deity also known as Babalú Ayé. Albita acknowledges the influence of San Lázaro and the beliefs of Cuban people. The Grammy-Award winner is commonly known as the Cuban Songstress from Havana, has moved the world with her music. Since her arrival in Miami in 1993, Albita has taken the US-Latin World by storm with her spectacular and authentic performance of contagious Cuban music. Much appreciated if someone could comment on the musicians playing with Albita today.
