SUMMARY:A Havana New Year's Eve Bash with Primo Cubano!
DESCRIPTION:Doors open an hour before showtime.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nADVANCE PURCHASE: $30 ( + fees)\n\n\n\nDAY OF SHOW: $40 (+ fees)\n\n\n\nAll surcharges and member discounts will be calculated at checkout.\n\n\n\nClick Here to learn how our ticket surcharge supports OLS.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhere Primo Cubano goes\, people dance. For the better of two decades\, they have been bringing the infectious rhythms\, rich harmonies\, and lively improvisation of Cuban music to the Northeast—playing festivals\, clubs\, parties\, weddings\, and other private events. \n\n\n\nThe band was born out of a trip organized by the Brunswick-Trinidad Sister City Association\, one of many organizations established to promote goodwill between the United States and Cuba. In 2004\, an association trip brought Maine artists down to Cuba to share musical traditions between the two cultures. Singer\, guitarist\, and fiddler Paul D’Alessio\, already well-established in Maine for playing folk music of the U.S.\, French Canada\, and the Maritimes\, went along and became inspired to learn the tres cubano—a guitar with three pairs of strings and the national instrument of Cuba. In 2007\, he formed Primo Cubano back in his home state of Maine\, bringing the palms to the pines. \n\n\n\nPaul managed to find like-minded musicians who had also been bitten by the bug—who\, despite growing up in Maine\, were drawn to the music. They have studied\, collaborated\, and performed with musicians in the local area\, such as drummers and noted ethnomusicologists Norm Bergeron and Andrés Espinoza. They have also traveled to study with Cuban musicians such as percussionist Rolando Salgado Palacios (aka El Niño Mentira)\, singer and dancer Reynaldo González\, Jorge Salazar\, tresera virtuoso Yarima Blanco\, drummer Hugo Cruz\, Lesster Castillo\, changüisero Antonio Duvergel\, and many other veteran Cuban musicians who have become lifelong teachers and friends. \n\n\n\nWhile individual members were able to travel to Cuba at various times over the years\, the band had the privilege of playing the Jazz Plaza Festival in Havana in January of 2024. They participated in workshops and private lessons with world-class Cuban musicians who took them under their wing and with whom they subsequently shared the stage at the weeklong festival\, which features many of Cuba’s premier groups. This experience was an honor for the band\, only matched by the incredibly warm and supportive reception of the Cuban public. They returned home feeling more connected to and inspired by Cuba and its people than ever. \n\n\n\nWebsite | Facebook | Instagram
