JACKSON, Wyo. — Journey through the music of Latin America and the U.S. with the Mambo Kings, Thursday, July 27 from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at Walk Festival Hall. The performance is part of the Grand Teton Music Festival Gateway Series.
From the music of Spain, Cuba, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Uruguay to the burning Afro-Cuban jazz of Tito Puente, to the rhythmic playfulness of jazz great Dave Brubeck and the pop strains of The Beatles; Mambo Kings and soprano Camille Zamora will be your guides on a Latin jazz tour of the Pan-American experience.
Tickets are on sale now for $50-$75 per person. Children and students are $5.
“What is it about our favorite music that is so transporting?” Camille Zamora said. “How does something as simple as a song lift us up, enfold us in its harmonies, and spirit us away? That half-remembered love song lyric, a dance tune you can’t get out of your head, the lullaby that vibrates in a low hum from a nearby room – these souvenirs-in-sound act as sonic passports, bearing witness to our origins even as they carry us on to new worlds.”
