June 17, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Doors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm (All ages)
The Freight and Salvage presents Barrio Manouche in honor of La Peña Cultural Center’s 43rd Birthday!
Barrio Manouche is a gypsy jazz & flamenco fusion ensemble based in San Francisco, with musicians from Spain, France, Brazil, California and Quebec.
Barrio Manouche is considered one of the Bay Area’s biggest rising stars, mesmerizing audiences with their live musical performances that incorporate flamenco dancing and other memorable surprises. They are known for curating their concerts with special guests from Colombia, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Spain and beyond!
The band performs a repertoire of original musical compositions deeply influenced by a range of musical traditions: from the swing of Louis Armstrong and Sidney Bechet, to the hot jazz of Django Reinhardt and Stéphane Grappelli, the flamenco & rumba of Paco de Lucía, to the avant-garde sounds of Miles Davis, Ornette Coleman and John Coltrane.
The band just released their first full length album “Aires de Cambio”. Get your copy at the show!
Special thanks to the Freight & Salvage for gifting us this concert at their beautiful theatre!
