La Última
Pedrito Martínez Group Tonight!
Thurs. Sept. 20 - Yoshi's Oakland
photo by Tom Ehrllich
This is really the most exciting timba development ever to come out of the U.S. It's timba - all timba - but it's a timba conjunto - it's got all the fire and great songs and great piano tumbaos and gear changes of timba but only about half as loud - so you can hear all the nuances. The only metal percussion is the bongosero's hand bell. Pedrito plays congas and cajón (playing kick drum parts) and all four members singing brilliantly. They're at Yoshi's Oakland tonight and the Monterey Jazz Fest on Friday. if you're on a budget (who isn't) it's a mere $15 for the whole night at Yoshis. This is the one, people. Don't miss it. VIDEO HERE. [Kevin Moore]
...and in the Midwest......
Those of you who can't make the Bay Area performance but are in the Wild, Wild Midwest should know that Pedrito & co. will be at the Mayne Stage in Chicago Illinois on Tuesday, September 25 as part of the World Music Festival.
