8PM: SOFIA KOUTSOVITIS GROUP featuring:
Sofia Koutsovitis-vocals, Eric Bloom-trumpet, Dan Blake- tenor sax, Adam Schneit-alto sax, Leo Genovese-piano, Jorge Roeder-bass, Dave Silliman-drums, Jorge Perez Albela- percussion.
The Sofia Koutsovitis Group, is grounded in traditional South American rhythms that merge organically with sophisticated harmonies and exploratory improvisations in a pan-stylistic tapestry of sound. Singing in Spanish, Portuguese or English, Sofia's voice is alternately graceful and authoritative in interpreting her dynamic original compositions or material by eminent musical poets such as Silvio Rodriguez, Astor Piazolla, Paulinho da Viola, and Chabuca Granda.

9PM: GACHUPIN
Blending African guitar stylings with Brazilian and Afro-Colombian rhythms,Gachupn draw on electric funk era Miles Davis and the more groove-oriented elements of the post-punk music world to create an instrumental hybrid that is danceable but still an interesting listen for the lead-footed, cross-armed brothers and sisters among us.
