Uptown Nights Digital: Pedrito Martinez


  • Harlem Stage 150 Convent Avenue New York United States (map)

Digital Stream : $5

In the Spring of 2022 Harlem Stage and the Caribbean Cultural Center African Diaspora Institute (CCCADI) united to present world-renowned Cuban percussionist and vocalist Pedrito Martinez.

Martinez is a unique and inventive musician who celebrates Afro-Cuban music and folkloric traditions. He grew up in the Cayo Hueso neighborhood of Havana, where he would sit for hours, intently watching the aging “rumberos” in the park across from his house as they played this African-derived combination of percussion, song, and dance. This heavily influenced his musical path and his Uptown Nights concert, Rumba Con Fundamento, is an infectious, high-energy musical experience you can enjoy online for a limited time.

Featuring Pedrito Martinez (percussion and lead vocals); Issac Delgado, Jr. (keyboard); Sebastian Natal (bass); Manuel Marquez (percussion); Xito Lovell (trombone).

This program is supported, in part, by, public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council.
