So you think you’re not a dancer? When the Bandoleros open up their
trove of flamenco rhythms, Middle Eastern melodies, and Latin fire,
you’ll want to change your ways and let the music sweep you up into
the night air. The quartet has opened for such diverse greats as Tito
Puente and Liquid Soul and claims their own divergent roots in
Assyria, Venezuela, Cuba, Ecuador, and Russia. Though at times
you’ll swear you’re hearing the Gipsy Kings (the Kings’ Patchai
is a frequent collaborator), Bandoleros offer up a not-so-subtle
blend of cultural influences as they perform in a sextet of languages
that evoke warm nights, lively cafes, far-flung destinations, and the
allure of an evening spent under the stars.
Opening act Brandon T. Washington begins at 6:30pm
