Internationally acclaimed Cuban Violinist returns to home territory with his new project.
The Omar Puente Charanga Jazz Sextet, is designed with dance in mind, blending original tunes with fresh arrangements of traditional Cuban favourites, adding the influences of African rhythm and modern jazz to the mix. The lineup features trumpet, timbales, bass, piano and congas and never fails to get everyone up on their feet moving to Cuban, Charanga and Salsa rhythms.
‘Omar Puente’s contribution to 20th and 21st century violin playing has now become legendary. His generous nature, his commitment to good music, his enjoyment of life and his respect for his colleagues are all characteristics which make him a true violin great’ – Nigel Kennedy
