Cincuenta y cinco años han pasado desde que Sara Montiel entonase con voz grave su famoso Fumando espero en la película El último cuplé. Para entonces, la actriz española ya se había convertido en una diva del cine mexicano, y más tarde de Hollywood, compartiendo protagonismo junto a actores de la talla de Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster y Charles Bronson. Ahora el Instituto Cervantes de Nueva York homenajea a esta figura de culto, quien compartirá con el público algunas de sus experiencias vitales y profesionales, además de cantar algunos de sus famosos cuplés y boleros.
Tras el tributo se servirá un cocktail al público asistente.

* TIMBALIVE > La tumba pa' to el mundo > May 4 > SOB's.
TIMBALIVE is all-star band of incredible musicians bringing exciting Cuban flavor to the US and the world. Based in Miami, their very first CD had guest starts Mayito Rivera from Los Van Van and the great Gonzalo Rubalcalba. The lyrics spoke of uniting Cubans in the US with those in Cuba musically and were an instant hit. In only a few years since its conception, TIMBALIVE has achieved a worldwide fan base with tours in Europe and the US including 2 amazing performances at the Salsa Festival in San Francisco. They have their Third European tour and a tour in Africa lined up this summer. The musical director Leo Garcia was chosen as Los Van Van’s drummer on their last USA tour. Their recent music video featured below has had over 40,000 page views on You tube. Come out and see the band that everyone can’t stop talking about. TIMBALIVE is undeniably musically tight, so much fun, and ready to perform an excellent show to celebrate their very first time in NYC!
* Flamenco Rebelde > May 6 > DROM > FLAMENCO.
The culmination of a yearlong collaboration, this performance marks the stage debut of Flamenco Rebelde, a student collective shaped by La Magdalena, musician / composer Nathan Herrera, and dozens of emerging dancers. The unique and eccentric personalities of its members help bring to life the pride, passion, love, sorrow, and transformative nature of flamenco. Performers stamp their beats in unison as singers intertwine their soulful melodies, transporting guests to the festive streets of the Spanish gypsies.

primera músico española a la que le ha sido concedida la prestigiosa
beca de la Universidad de Berklee en Boston. Ha participado en el
Monterrey Festival y el Kennedy Center.
Nacida en Madrid, empieza a tocar el piano a la edad de seis años. A
los diecisiete gana una beca para estudiar en la Guildhall School of
Music, donde practica piano clásico. A pesar de ello, siempre ha estado
estrechamente ligada al flamenco, y ha trabajado con artistas como Niño
Josele, Jorge Pardo y Agustín Carbonell 'El Bola'.
En 2010 participa en el homenaje a Paco de Lucía.

After nearly two years on the road off the success of his debut, Palomo
returns this fall with his proper follow-up LP, Era Extraña. This time
around, we see a darker shaded sound document that tosses somewhere
between an 8-bit shoegaze record and peering through the fence of a
teenage apocalypse drive-in flick.
* MARTA GOMEZ > Mayo 12 > Joe's Pub > GOMEZ.
Graduated from the Berklee College of Music, Marta Gómez has developed
an extensive music career which has placed her as one of the most interesting
singer songwriters on the world music scene today.
Marta and her group perform a repertoire of original compositions based on a vast amount of rhythms from Latin America. On her songs, Marta mixes the joy of the Caribbean with the nostalgia of the Andes adding jazz and pop elements, taking the authenticity of South American indigenous folk music into a new realm.

Argentine zambas, chilean cuecas, Bolivian carnavalitos

refrains that translates across any language barrier.
On her sixth production "El corazón y el sombrero" (The heart and
the hat) (2011 Aluna Records), she pays a tribute to Spanish poet Federico
García Lorca, adding Latin American folkloric rhythms to 12 of his poems.

Con Contramano y Cápsula.
With a name that refers partly to the Indian gugu Sai Baba and partly
to The Jetsons (Los Supersónicos in Spanish), indie rock collective
Babasónicos first emerged in the wave of new Argentine rock bands of the
late '80s and early '90s, along with groups like Peligrosos Gorriones
and Los Brujos. The outfit quickly became one of the banner groups of
the country's sonic underground movement in the late '90s. Lead singer
Adrián "Dárgelos" Rodríguez and keyboardist Diego "Uma-T" Tuñón
initially decided to create a New Wave style, which didn't fall in line
with the established traditions of Argentine rock music. The group's
second album Trance Zomba (1994) incorporated a guest DJ, and the
ensuing years saw the band experiment with various diverse styles.
Since the release of Jessico in 2001, however, Babasónicos's releases
have fallen more in tune with current trends in Argentine music,
allowing the band to reach a wider audience with releases like Infame
(2003) and Anoche (2005). The band also composed the soundtrack for Vera
Fogwill's 2007 movie Las Mantenidas Sin Sueños (Kept and Dreamless).
The group's 2008 album Mucho was widely hailed by critics – AllMusic
declared the release "easily one of the best rock en español releases of
2008." The disc was a rock masterpiece in miniature, its 10 tracks
clocking in at just under 31 minutes in total length. With its latest
release A Propósito (2011), Babasónicos continues to produce to some of
the most creative and engaging Latin pop music around.
* Lara Bello Album Release Concert > Mayo 24 > DROM > LARA.
Lara
Bello presents her new cd "Primero Amarillo Después Malva" ('First
Yellow Then Purple'), Singer and composer from Granada (Spain). Her
music embraces the essence of flamenco roots combined with different
ethnic rhythms. Best Spanish World Music Artist 2010 by the World Music
Charts Europe.
* JENCARLOS CANELA > Mayo 25 > Best Buy Theater > CANELA.
His new album “Un Nuevo Dia” was released in 2011. It was produced by Rudy Perez
, and includes duets with artists such as Jose Feliciano, Gilberto
Santa Rosa, El Cata, Pitbull, and the band Los Recoditos . This same
album includes the single “Mi Corazon Insiste” which is also the name of
his current soap opera as well as the theme song of the soap opera,
which is sung by him.
* La voz y las cuerdas > Concierto > May 29 > Instituto Cervantes > ARBERAS.
Amaya Arberas (soprano) estudió en el Conservatorio
Superior de Música de Madrid y dio clases de voz con José Ramón Arteta.

Nueva York. Ha ofrecido, igualmente un recital de zarzuelas en
el Lincoln Center, dirigido por Pablo Zinger.
* JOSE CONDE > Mayo 31 > Joe's Pub > CONDE.
Trading the Cuban tres for a vintage Gretsch, Jose Conde’s
new music is a refined and personal blend clothed in electric and
organic, funky world beats, inspired by trees, elephants, dogs, sexy
dresses, and love. In a world music stretch with diverse influences and
colors from South Africa to Brazil to Peru etc., with humor and rhythmic
phrasing undeniably and soulfully Cuban, yet uniquely Conde, the music
is delivered with booty shaking grooves by his new band, the nu Latin groove.
