A message from our Executive Director, Maure Aronson:
"So much has changed in 25 years. From discovering new artists on cassette tapes to YouTube links. What has not changed is the fantastic music and dance that artists create and that we have the opportunity to share with the adventurous and amazing audiences of greater Boston. Thanks to all the artists, agents, managers, crew, funders, fellow globalistas and the most amazing staff, volunteers and interns that have made us who we are today. Hope to see many Boston friends at CRASHfest and other concerts this winter and spring."
Special thanks to The Boston Globe for the incredible support, and to Siddhartha Mitter for his commitment in representing the world music community in print.

I'll be the first to admit, I don't know much about jazz. But I know enough to know that Jack DeJohnette is one of the most talented jazz drummers performing today. And the Improper Bostonian just schooled me on a whole bunch more Jack DeJohnette facts. Read the article here. Buy tickets here. And watch below.
This Sunday is Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club concert day! I'm incredibly excited for this performance by the legendary Cuban group, and I'm even more excited to have more Cuban culture just a few weeks later when Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba comes into town to perform Cuba Vibra at the Emerson/Cutler Majestic Theatre. While Orquesta Buena Vista Social Club is sold out, get your Cuba fix November 7 and 8 with Lizt Alfonso Dance Cuba, direct from Havana, performing with an on-stage big band!
To hold you over, I thought I'd share the recipe's that participants in our Cuban Connection class at the Boston Center for Adult Education were shown from travel writer Annie B. Copps. I tasted the Cuban sandwich and mojito first-hand, and I guarantee you, they were both insanely delicious. My mouth is watering just thinking about them...
