Alex Arango and his five-piece band will present a night of original music that explores the rhythms and styles that influenced him. His set will include Colombian cumbias and Vallenatos performed on the accordion as well as Hip Hop and R&B pieces featuring special guest vocalists. It’s an exciting mix of cultural influences and musical experiences, all with a Latin-American aesthetic.
