Tom Ehrlich - Chucho Valdes Irakere Tribute
CHUCHO VALDÉS TRIBUTE TO IRAKERE
SONOMA STATE UNIVERSITY, ROHNERT PARK, CALIFORNIA
OCTOBER 25, 2015
PHOTOS BY TOM EHRLICH ©2015
Chucho Valdés and a powerhouse group have been touring the United States to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Irakere. The group performed six times in the Bay Area and I only had one opportunity to photograph them. Pedro Martínez Group was the opening act. I will post photos from Pedrito's group separately.
Irakere consisted of:
| Chucho Valdés | leader and piano |
| Rafael Águila | alto sax |
| Ariel Brínguez | tenor sax |
| Carlos Dimet | trumpet |
| Manuel Machado | trumpet |
| Reinaldo Melián | trumpet |
| Gastón Joya | bass |
| Dreiser Durruthy | vocals and batá |
| Yaroldy Abreu Robles | congas/ percussion |
| Rodney Barreto | drumset |
Besides the above photo and one more of the band, this gallery will be all black and white images for a change.

The highlight of the concert for me were these guys plus Yaroldy on congas playing some mean rhythms
