April 29th Si * Sé at World Cafe Live at 8 pm

Si*Sé

Blending sultry vocal melodies and electronic textures, with dub and understated hip hop beats, Si*Sé’s music weaves an emotional tapestry of eclectic soul for the post-digital era.

Singer/DJ Carol C’s voice evokes a sophisticated sensuality, singing in English and Spanish over producer Cliff Cristofaro (The Crystal Pharoah)’s post-trip-hop grooves. The band includes drummer Ryan Farley, bassist Morgan Phillips, percussionist Neil Ochoa and violinist Nicole Arena.

David Byrne fell for Si*Sé in 2000, signing the New York City crew to his Luaka Bop label, releasing its self-titled debut in 2001 and taking the band along on his Look Into the Eyeball world tour.

After nine long years, the Grammy® nominated rumba ensemble Los Muñequitos de Matanzas returns to the United States with a brand new program: Homenaje a los Ancestros, featuring selections from their latest recording, tributes to legendary members and new works created especially for this eagerly awaited tour. Hailed as the "reigning regents of rumba" by the San Francisco Chronicle and "the essence of Cuba's musical soul" by the San Diego Union Tribune, Los Muñequitos de Matanzas are amongst the highest regarded percussionists in the world and masters of Afro-Cuban ritual, rumba music and dance. Founded in 1952, the group currently spans three generations of an extended family of musicians, singers and dancers.

April 22 Femi Kuti and Positive Force

Femi Kuti & Positive Force

Those who have followed his career and have experienced his music know this for a fact: Femi Kuti never felt just satisfied with being the King’s heir. He freed himself from his father’s legacy in ’85 by putting together his own band, The Positive Force, and thereby working to find his own voice. He became, during the ’90s, a renowned artist in his own right.

For more than 80 years, Septeto Nacional Ignacio Piñeiro de Cuba has reigned supreme as the world's foremost champion and protector of Cuban son, the musical heartbeat of Cuba. The 7-piece band was founded in 1927 by Ignacio Piñeiro Martínez (1888-1969), the wildly prolific Cuban bassist and composer known affectionately as "el Poeta del Son."
