29 Sep Javier Ruibal in concert

FUNDarte in collaboration with The Miami Dade County Auditorium presents Javier Ruibal in Concert, direct from Spain, with Cuban pianist Oriente Lopez and bassist Sean Kupisc at On.Stage Black.Box Theater at Miami Dade County Auditorium (2901 W Flagler St., Miami, FL 33135) on Sunday, October 19, 2014 at 7:00 p.m.

Discover the unique and transcendental sound of Javier Ruibal, an artist whose 30-year career spans explorations into the music of North Africa and Andalusia, writing and performing songs that represent intimate encounters with life itself. Fusing modulations from the Flamenco tradition with innovative influences from pop music and other musical styles, this artist has developed a unique signature sound that evokes a magical world of exotic travel and adventure in which Europe meets Africa and the Mediterranean meets the Caribbean. Ruibal is neither a pop artist nor a jazz musician, yet he brings soul to pop forms and accessibility to jazz. His music is ripe with Berber echoes, African soul, American blues and French love songs, as well as the purity and pathos of Flamenco, and lyrics filled with the love, angst, and the tribulations of daily life. Ruibal will be launching his latest LP “Quédate Conmigo” here in Miami, and performing songs from this latest recording as well as his well-known extensive repertoire.
