OK Roots Music Presents Changui Majadero Dance Party

Join us for the final night of OK Roots’ 6th annual Wine and Jazz Fete on Saturday, June 8, featuring Changui Majadero.

Playing ferociously danceable Cuban roots music, Changüí Majadero is a blazing five-piece band that has honed a deeply informed and highly personal take on changüí, a surging Afro-Cuban musical tradition that took shape in the late 19th Century on the eastern side of the island around Guantanamo. It’s one of the foundational styles that gave birth to son, salsa and timba, and in the hands of Changüí Majadero the music feels as fresh and intoxicating as a stiff shot of rum. Founded by guitarist/vocalist Gabriel García, an expert on Cuban tres guitar, the band mixes Cuba’s rural countryside music with L.A. grit for a deeply intoxicating, hip-shaking experience.

“Hypnotically repetitive and gloriously syncopated, Changüí Majadero is captivating and liberating.” —Pop Matters
