Xiomara Laugart & Axel Tosca Prepare to be swept away by the electrifying fusion of rhythm and melody as the renowned Axel Tosca and his legendary mother, Xiomara Laugart. Recognized as one of the city's most exciting young timba musicians by New York Latin Culture Magazine, Axel's innovative blend of progressive jazz, Cuban timba, R&B, and a touch of hip-hop sets him apart as a true musical trailblazer. Joining Axel Tosca on stage is none other than the incomparable Xiomara Laugart, celebrated as the epitome of Cuban trova singing. With a career spanning over two decades and a voice that captivates hearts around the globe, Xiomara's performances are a testament to the enduring power of Cuban folk music.
Marimba Herencia Maya Traditional Mayan ensemble based in New Jersey. They play cumbia music from northern and southern Guatemala. The 8-piece group includes marimba, vocals, bass, piano, and drums. Get ready for vibrant, high-energy music that is great for listening and dancing
Dúo Andalucía  is a fine guitar duo, offering a unique blend of instrumental jazz, bossa nova, passionate flamenco, and even operatic vocals that will captivate the crowd. It's a fusion that creates a powerful and emotional journey. After their beginnings in Nicaragua, and then 5 years of separation due to sociopolitical crisis, these musicians have recently reunited here in the Hudson Valley and are grateful to perform their music for you.
