In this new edition, the event is expected to be an important contribution to jazz as a musical genre, but it will not be the only musical style that attendees will enjoy, as organizers have made every effort to make the festival as varied and diverse as possible. This means that there is a planned special emphasis on the Latin American and Caribbean influences that have made this genre what we know today, so the mixture of cultures that will be present there will be unbelievable. 

The space destined for sales positions and counters will include businesses, food sales, handicrafts, community organizations, among many other things. However, the main attraction will be the great group of artists who have been invited to the Annual Bay Area Latin Jazz Festival, among which we can include Oscar Hernandez and his quintet Alma Libre, Bobi Cespedes, Carlos Rosario, Ricky’s Grupo Afro-Nativo, Rene Escovedo Latin Jazz Ensemble and much more. In addition, the festival will be attended by broadcaster Luis Medina, who kindly spoke with us and provided us with all this valuable information. 

Mr. Medina from KPFA Radio’s Con Sabor and WorldSalsaRadio.com’s Sabiduria Con Tumbao will be the master of ceremonies for the event and DJ during breaks, which will allow those who attend to see Luis in one of his most exciting musical facets.

It must be remembered that this corporation specializes in offering all kinds of services related to Latin music, including promotion, marketing, representation of artists of various genres, assistance in obtaining tickets, website creation and many other things. Without a doubt, this provider is highly reliable and respected in the industry, so it is a fact that its work will not disappoint. 

One of the great achievements of Montuno Productions in this time has been the coming together of local small businesses, community organizations and music lovers in one place to create a positive contribution to arts, economy and culture. Benefits to the community, attendees and music lovers will be incalculable. 

As for the place, this Latin jazz festival is expected to take place at Rowell Ranch, Castro Valley, California. It is a lovely area surrounded by hills whose access by motorway is quite easy for those who wish to go by car. The place is quite accessible for those coming from Livermore, Dublin and Pleasanton.

Enjoy an unforgettable Cuban night in Los Angeles

Go back to your beloved island at A night in Havana

As long as we leave our home countries to go and live in a new land, there are times when we long for the place that we left behind and would like to be there, even for a short time, and remember so many good things we experienced despite the challenges. Fortunately, the United States is a multicultural country that allows us to go back to our roots through festivals, concerts and events in general that serve to take us back to our place of origin.

In the case of the millions of Cubans who make life in Los Angeles, there are many options to entertain and remember their beloved island at the same time. A night in Havana is a great alternative to return to the Cuban capital again and again with everything that its organizers have to offer attendees. It will be a night to remember where there will be endless activities for the whole family. 

This is a fundraising gala, which will be held in order to provide financing to a few vacational projects in countries such as Mexico, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, among others. At the event, attendees will be able to enjoy dinners, dances, entertainment, surprise guests, auctions, drinks and much more. The best thing is that everything what is taking place here will be enlivened by a live salsa orchestra whose talent will offer those present an evening that they will not forget for a long time.

What the purpose of A night in Havana is

The main organizing body for A Night in Havana is the non-profit organization Al-Barro Foundation, which has been created with the firm intention of promoting awareness of the humanitarian crises happening in many countries of Latin America and the Middle East and to sensitizing anyone who can offer the one who needs it most a caring hand. In its website, its creators explain what they do and the events through which they seek to raise as many funds as possible for charity causes. This is why there are opportunities like this to spend a pleasant time and contribute to those most in need at the same time.  On the same website, those who wish to attend the gala can acquire their tickets, ranging in cost from about $100 to $500 according to anything they include. 

As for the chosen location, it is a spectacular event venue located in North Hollywood whose elegance, good taste and greatness will pleasantly shock the lucky ones who attend this wonderful place. It is none other than the incredible Bellaire Banquet Hall, which is one of those great venues where you can appreciate a spectacular dance floor with an aquarium of great extension included, which is rather striking in a place of these characteristics. This makes any evening much more special than anyone can imagine.

Another way to communicate with the organizers of the event is to send an email to [email protected] or the Facebook page of the Al-Barro Foundation.
