Bristol’s inimitable little slice of Spain, El Rincon restaurant, goes all Cuban for the weekend of August 7-9th 2009, to raise money for the Music Fund for Cuba.
Full programme of events:
Friday 7 August
K’CHEVERE QUARTET
K’Chevere are “one of the best, most highly regarded and definitely most authentic Latin American bands in the UK” (Venue magazine). They play a blend of Afro-Cuban dance rhythms (Son, Danzon, Cha-Cha-Cha) with Latin jazz and salsa. Normally the band performs as an eight-piece, but, due to the uniquely intimate setting, they’re putting on a special four-piece for tonight only. Get your hips at the ready. Que chevere!
