Julio Montalvo Cuban Collective Presented by Centro Cultural Español (CCEMiami)

Latin Grammy Award-winner Julio Montalvo will perform with his big band project, the Julio Montalvo Collective, offering an extensive repertoire from Latin Jazz to Afro-Cuban music. An ensemble of 6 musicians will perform original pieces and a selection of Cuban, Brazilian, and Latin Jazz covers.

Julio Montalvo Collective is the general name of the project that Montalvo defends as a soloist, a mixture of Afro-Cuban rhythms with the new trends of modern jazz, achieving a warm fusion of New Latin Jazz.

His first two albums were nominated for the Cuba Disco Awards in the category of Best Jazz Album in 2010 & 2013. The formation can range from a quartet to an ensemble of 6 or more musicians, performing original pieces and a selection of Latin Jazz covers, Cuban and Brazilian music.

In this concert, presented by the Spanish Cultural Center with the Miami-Dade County Auditorium, Montalvo focuses on Afro-Cuban music with touches of Latin jazz and gives us a tour of instrumental music and songs.

 

This performance is part of Miami-Dade County Auditorium’s Away From Home Series. Programming continues to thrive during this period of renovation through the Away From Home Series. The series consists of off-site performances presented at alternative venues with community partners, ensuring that the magic of the performing arts continues to captivate audiences throughout this transition period. The Away From Home Series presents dance, theatre, and music performances that take place at a variety of South Florida facilities and cultural centers. MDCA remains committed to keeping the spirit of creativity alive during this monumental endeavor and invites you to join us away from home!
