Tiempo Libre bring their Latin Jazz flair to the Wisconsin Union Theater
Tiempo Libre will perform at the Wisconsin Union Theater on Thursday, November 5th at 8:00 pm. General admission tickets for the performance are $30. As always, UW-Student tickets are only $10! Tickets can be purchased by phone (608-265-ARTS), fax (608-265-5084), by mail or in person at the box office (Wisconsin Union Theater, 800 Langdon St., Madison, WI 53706) or online here.
Two-time Grammy-nominated Tiempo Libre is made up of Miami-based, conservatory-trained Cuban émigrés. Named the "Best Latin Band of 2008" by the Miami Times, Tiempo Libre's success keeps growing. Mixing the sounds of timba, salsa and son, this high-voltage Latin Jazz band has successfully brought its heritage to listeners across the world.
Their latest album, Bach in Havana, fuses Bach's famous compositions with Afro-Cuban beats sure to make listeners dance. Exclusive Magazine raves, "Bach in Havana is a fantastic set of high tempo, rhythm-based songs... It is no surprise the playing is first-class. The horns sound creamy and the overall feel is not unlike early Santana in full flow."
Tiempo Libre's rich culture runs deeply through each song and exciting performance. Don't miss your chance to try out your salsa moves when Tiempo Libre blazes the Wisconsin Union Theater stage!
This concert is sponsored by the Wisconsin Union Directorate. Support is also given by the Wisconsin Union Theater Endowment Fund, Anonymous Fund, Maximum Ink, The Onion, WORT 89.9 FM, Dando Mambo, ETC, Madison Camaguey Sister City Association, and the Wisconsin Arts Board.
***Those attending the show at the theater will be admitted free to that night’s dance party at the reopened Cardinal Bar. The party, College Night con DJ SalSabor, starts at 10 pm. Age 18+ OK with college ID.
