"OH VIDA" A TRIBUTE TO BENY MORE AND MANOLO CARACOL GONZALO RUBALCABA & ESPERANZA FERNANDEZ IN CONCERT Giant of Latin Jazz, Cuban pianist Gonzalo Rubalcaba. joins extraordinary Spanish Gypsy singer Esperanza Fernández in a sizzling new collaboration! Together they celebrate the inimitable Cuban singer Beny Moré (1919-1963) and his Spanish Gypsy counterpoint, the revered flamenco cantaor Manolo Caracol (1909-1973). Their reinterpretions of such classics as Moré’s “Oh Vida!” and “¿Cómo Fue?” and Caracol’s “Carcelero” and “La Salvaora” build new bridges between Spanish and Cuban song, turning the concept of “ida y vuelta” on its head. "One of the greatest musicians in jazz... a pianist of almost supernatural abilities." — The New York Times “The complexity of modern life and raw emotion of flamenco’s cante jondo mix in a beguiling way in the profoundly soulful voice of flamenco artist Esperanza Fernández.” —The San Francisco Chronicle More Info below.
