"Ivy League Rumba." Forthcoming PBS Documentary. Brown University Latin Jazz and Pop Festival.


Glad to be part of this forthcoming PBS documentary called "Ivy League Rumba," by Miami-based filmmakers Joe Cardona and Ralph Gonzalez. 

The film features stunning musical performances from last Fall's Brown University Latin Jazz and Pop Festival, plus lots more. I had the pleasure to participate in that event at a panel about Cuban music together with Ned Sublette, Martin Cohen and Arturo Gomez.

The film's premier is expected by the end of March.

Here's a sneak peak teaser.
