Latin jazz fusion from the Juan Prada Trio
Details
Fresh off their appearance at this year's San Jose Jazz Festival, this band will be coming to this popular El Cerrito concert series to play Uruguayan candombe, Brazilian samba, Cuban traditional grooves, and more. The band consists of Cuban pianist, composer and arranger Juan Prada (a resident of Uruguay for many decades), along with his Uruguayan partners, bassist Diego Banega, drummer Martin Cruz and guest Edgardo Cambon (familiar to Meetup regulars) on congas and traditional Uruguayan candombe drums.
COST/TICKETS: For reserved seating, the online purchase price is $27.27 per person. Tickets typically sell quickly for this popular weekly concert series of jazz and more!
IMPORTANT NOTE: To facilitate our ability to get seated at the same table, here's how I'm setting up this Meetup event: After joining the Wait List, PayPal me $27.27 for your ticket, after which I will move you up to the Meetup RSVP list. After I receive PayPal ticket fees from a maximum of three RSVPer (in addition to myself), I will promptly buy all four tickets for ourselves, so we can sit together at the same table. It looks to me from the ticket page as though the most tickets I can buy at one time is four tickets.
HOW TO FIND ME: I'm WF, 5 feet tall, with short salt-and-pepper hair and glasses. I'll send my mobile number to RSVPers prior to the event. Please text me if you don't spot me.
TRANSIT: The concert is held in the Natural Food Company's Annex, located at 10387 San Pablo Ave. in El Cerrito, about three-quarters of a mile from El Cerrito PLAZA BART station. Folks have the option of taking an AC Transit bus line from BART to the block of San Pablo Avenue where the concert will be held. (NOTE: if taking BART, make sure you disembark at the correct El Cerrito station. That town has two similarly named BART stations.)
FOOD & DRINK: Concertgoers may buy their own food and drink at the Annex to enjoy before or during the show. (No minimum order required.)
