SOB's, NY's home for world-class Latin music, is proud to present Los Soneros De Oriente, on Friday January 9th. Los Soneros de Oriente, embassadors of the traditional Cuban song form of son. They take their name from the region of Cuba that is most famous for Son. The group represents an extensive history and lifelong commitment to traditional Cuban music. Composed primarily of former members of the great band, Son del la Loma, Los Soneros pay a tribute to that group and its founder, the late Armando Sanchez, who dedicated his life to the maintenance of Son. This is the music of the countryside and the mountains, based on the Clave and Tres, with trumpets and lively percussion.

On Saturday, S.O.B'S presents Dende & Hãhãhães, original Afro-Brazilian Music band, lead by master percussionist Dende, a former member of the world famous Brazilian band Timbalada; the group performs a mixture of Brazilian and Cuban music as well as other influences in the African diaspora. The Hãhãhães is named after the Indian tribe Pataxó-Hãhãhães that once inhabited the city of Salvador in Bahia, Brazil. Lead by master Afro-Brazilian percussionist Dendê, the beat is always central, but it is tempered by thought provoking lyrics and sweet melodies. Comprised of musicians of various backgrounds, the groups’ diversity permeates its music with rhythms ranging from Nigerian Afrobeat to Brazilian Samba to Cuban Pilón. It will most definitely be a night to remember at SOB's. Visit sobs.com for show times and prices.
