TGIF Jazz In The Parks moves a little closer to town this week as Ricardo Lemvo & Makina Loca bring their rockin’ blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms to Poinsettia Park this Friday July 17, 2009 from 6-8 PM.
Ricardo Lemvo has established himself as a pioneer with his innovative music. Lemvo’s blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan-African styles (soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba) has been described by the Los Angeles Times as “seamless and infectious. . . .This Congo-born artist of Angolan ancestry is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. Lemvo is truly multi-cultural and equally at home singing in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Lingala, and Kikongo.
This will be the band’s third season playing TGIF Jazz In The Parks so most everyone knows what to expect.
