OG Burn
A Tribute to Eddie Bobé
Saturday, March 19, 2022
8 PM
Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture at Hostos Community College
Arturo O’Farrill
Eddie Bobé spoke of moments when the groove got so powerful it was said to be “burnin.’” Deeply committed to the Pan Caribbean, Pan African, and Pan American percussion practice, Bobé brought that “burnin’” to every groove he played. OG Burn features Grammy Award–winning Arturo O’Farrill and the 18-piece Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra, plus special guests Román Díaz, Jay Rodriguez, Felix Sanabria, Gene Golden, Abraham Rodriguez, and Hector “Papote” Jimenez in raucous evenings of rumba, batá, and guaguancó, spotlighting compositions by Michele Rosewoman, Arturo O’Farrill, Chico O’Farrill, and Bobé himself. A pre-concert conversation with the artists takes place Friday, March 18 at 7 PM.
Part of: Afrofuturism
