Afro-Cuban New Year's Eve Dance Party with Jane Bunnett & Maqueque and Louie Romero Y Su Grupo Mazacote MC: Jesse "Chuy" Varela from KCSM
With Maqueque, Jane Bunnett has created something new and phenomenal in the world of jazz. What started out five years ago as a project to record and mentor young brilliant Cuban female musicians, has become one of the top groups on the North American jazz scene. In the last year, they have played in major jazz festivals like Newport and Monterey, been featured on NPR's program Jazz Night in America, were nominated for a Grammy Award for their newest release, Oddara, and, most recently, were voted as one the top ten jazz groups by the prestigious DownBeat magazine's critics poll.
