“An evening of Andean music with Quijeremá ?Al Son del Tunduki” will be presented at 8 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 11 at the UCSB Multicultural Center Theater.
Quijeremá is a dynamic force driven by sweeping bandola choruses with a firm foundation of acoustic bass and the deep reverberations of the cajón, a Peruvian “beat box,” the university’s Multicultural Center reported in a media release.
Melodies are based in the percussion, interwoven with trumpet and the complex rhythm of Venezuelan maracas. Their current work, Al Son del Tunduki is a musical journey to unearth the African Diaspora in the Americas. The San Francisco Chronicle calls them “A potent mix of Latin American folk music and jazz.”
Tickets are $5 UCSB students/$15 general. Contact the A.S Ticket Office at 805.893.2064. No extra charge for phone orders. Limited seating.
