Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martinez plays Rumba and Timba live at Harlem Stage (with the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute) in Manhattanville, Harlem on Fri-Sat, Feb 11-12 at 7:30pm. From $25. 🇨🇺
Most human culture begins as an expression of family and faith. Pedrito can start you there in Cuban Lucumí (Yoruba) traditions with the sacred Bata drums, but ceremonies are private affairs. Ashé.
One step removed is Rumba (party), an expression of community and love, and the root of a lot of Latin music. In the States, they took away the drum, and we got Gospel and the Blues, the root of American popular music including Jazz, Rock and Hip-Hop. In Cuba, Rumba evolved into Timba. In Puerto Rico, it evolved into Bomba. In New York City, it evolved into Salsa.
Pedrito is the world’s first-call Rumbero. He can take you all the way back to the beginning, to our ancestors, or leap forward into all kinds of fusions that are happening now. He just did an album with Eric Clapton. When the Rolling Stones are in town, they stop by to see Pedrito. Those who know, know Pedrito is really something. Don’t miss this.
