Bailamos! Latin Dance Party featuring El Movimiento

The Nashville Jazz Workshop is excited to announce "Bailamos (We Dance)!", a Latin Dance Party featuring El Movimiento on Sunday, May 4 at 6pm. This is the first event of its kind at NJW, and we welcome you to join us in the upcoming festivities!

Composed of an all-star roster of Nashville's leading jazz & world-music artists, El Movimiento has in a few short years established itself as a sensation on the Music City's jazz scene. The septet's powerful and original sound and repertoire are the result of a unique partnership between a multi-cultural trio of accomplished instrumentalists and composers: Saxophonist and Nashville native Rahsaan Barber, Dominican percussionist Giovanni Rodriguez & Puerto-Rican trumpeter Imer Santiago. El Movimiento is dedicated to building on the heritage of Latin jazz giants while incorporating contemporary influences, synthesizing the best elements of African- and Latin-American musical traditions from around the world. El Movimiento also includes Kelli Cox on keys, James DaSilva on guitar, Jon Estes on bass, and Yamil Conga on drums. And, just for this engagement, they're bringing on some extra firepower: vocalist Marcella Pinilla and trombonist Roy Agee.

"Bailamos!" will be unlike any experience you have had at the Jazz Workshop. Tables and chairs will be cleared out to make room for a dance floor, so bring your dancing shoes! This event will be general admission and will feature a variety of Latin musical genres.

Admission is $20 for adults and students. Tickets will go on sale Tuesday, April 1 at 10AM and will be available online on this page, by phone 24/7 at Brown Paper Tickets (800-838-3006) or during business hours at the NJW office (242-5299).
