☞ LISTEN: Club Havana at the Gatehouse

Saturday,  May 12th, 8:00PM, Tribute to Club Havana San Juan featuring The Havana San Juan Orchestra at The Gatehouse, 150 Convent Avenue at 135th Street.  Join in for a night that relives the past glory and gets your body and soul moving to the present. In ‘60s New York, Havana San Juan, a club on 138th St and Broadway, played the pulsating soundtrack of the Golden Era of Latin Music. It was at this club where the flavorful mix of Afro-Cuban Mambo, Rumba, Guaguanco, Son, and Cha Cha blared. Today, the band of the same name, the Havana San Juan Orchestra, has revived this sound by incorporating modern technology and music of Tito Puente, Machito and Celia Cruz.

Presented as part of the Harlem Jazz Shrines Festival, a partnership with the Apollo Theater and Jazzmobile.  Tickets for $10 may be purchased online: LINK
