Sounds of L.A.: Cuba LA
GETTY CENTER
Harold M. Williams Auditorium
Cuba L.A. celebrates master conga player Francisco Aguabella's remarkable legacy with a concert featuring his compositions as well as Latin jazz standards and original works. Aguabella (1925-2010), played with luminaries from Peggy Lee to Carlos Santana. His deep knowledge of Afro-Cuban traditions and jazz, combined with abundant curiosity, inspired artists around the world. Cuba L.A., led by flutist Danilo Lozano, is a collective of West Coast musicians dedicated to Cuban music.
