Embrace the spirit of Rotterdam, the diverse city of UNESCO, at Dizzy Jazz Club! Join us for a night where culture, heritage, and rhythm unite on Jan 29, 2024]. We’re honored to present a double concert, celebrating UNESCO’s recent declaration of Bolero as a World Cultural Heritage.

Jose Carlos Sánchez (Jay Kalo) was born in Havana (Cuba) on September 15, 1997. He began his musical career at the age of 10 and studied percussion at the Cuban National Art School (ENA).

He obtained first place in the International Drum Festival in Cuba, on two consecutive occasions.

At only 17 years old, his first trip was to New York, to perform with the "Big Band Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra" where he met and played with Wynton Marsalis.

When he finished his studies, he began to play and record with many national and international artists, such as Alain Pérez (album "El cuento de la buena pipa"), Omara Portuondo ("Barranquijazz" jazz festival, Colombia), Maria del Mar Bonet ("Ultramar" tour) and among others.

Swingende Cubaanse Latin Jazz! De jonge oprichter en bandleider Laura “Beatriz” Argudin (Cuba, 23) heeft als doel om haar muzikale traditie te delen en verder te ontwikkelen in Nederland. Verwacht van haar, als jongste telg van de Peruchin jazz-dynastie, energieke Latin Jazz muziek, een aantal klassiekers maar ook eigen repertoire. Met de band BEATRIZ heeft Laura een aantal andere jonge talenten -met nu al erkenning en ervaring met gastoptredens bij internationale topbands- aan zich weten te binden: Patricia Mancheño (basgitaar), Daan Arets (drums) Steven Brezet(percussie) en Pablo Cruz (sax, dwarsfluit). BEATRIZ: een unieke en verfrissende Cubaanse jazz-ervaring!

Speciale gast deze avond is internationale topdrummer Jose Carlos Sanchez uit Cuba. Het zal het een onvergetelijke avond worden.
