“Funk Night” is here again! Get ready to enjoy all-time Funk, Soul, R&B and reggae hits in a Cuban and Latin style by The West Coast Cuban Orchestra. This band will bring you another world-class show with a fusion of genres rarely seen in here. Latin Funk Night represents a concept that has no limits on its creative spectrum, as the purpose is to reinvent the musical legacy left by legends like Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Etta James, Marvin Gaye, Michael Jackson, the Beatles and more.
All songs will be suitable for partner dancing so Latin dancing fans are very welcome to join us! If you need some encouragement in a very fun way to try some steps, a dance instructor will be teaching a class and making a dance performance as well.
If you enjoy listening to music that has a more interesting and unexpected sound, this event is for you. We will bring you classic melodies from funk, soul, and other genres enriched and refreshed with exotic rhythms like salsa, bachata, and merengue. All performed by artists with solid musical preparation, diverse backgrounds and spectacular improvisational skills adding Jazz, blues, and other influences to the performance, and creating the totally unique sound of this band.

This event is taking place on the traditional, stolen, unceded land of the Lekwungen and W̱SÁNEĆ peoples. We acknowledge the rich cultural history of the many peoples and rituals that have been affected by the ongoing process of dispossession and colonialism. We hold this understanding in our interactions and engagements with this land and its people.
