An Evening with Charanga Danzon and Mirror Dance
Charanga Danzon is a fluid ensemble of wonderful musicians, with a repertoire of Cuban music including traditional charanga, son/danzon, cha-cha-cha, classical, and jazz. Musicians will include: Special guest Michael Nicolella (guitar), Irene Mitri (violin), Pedro Vargas (percussion), Jim OHalloran (flute), Ben Verdier (bass), Fred Hoadley (piano and tres), Andy Schloss (percussion). This concert will include a special film: MIRROR DANCE; Producer: Frances McElroy and Maria T. Rodriguez, Genre: Documentary 1 Episode/60 Minutes. Two sisters. One passion. Romance. Revolution. MIRROR DANCE is the story of Cuban-born identical twins Ramona and Margarita de Saa, who become estranged through politics when one moves to the United States and the other remains behind. Though separated for almost 40 years, both continue to share a passion for dance. Shot in the United States and Cuba over a period of four years, the film reveals some of the complexities of the sisters' relationship: the worlds in which they live, the choices each has made and the conflicts each has endured. Set within the context of the turbulent dynamic between the two countries, MIRROR DANCE focuses on the twins' story of division, difference and ongoing efforts at reconciliation. It is a universal story that speaks to the personal pain, loss and waste that can result from international hostilities.
Please join us for a memorable evening of Cuban music and thought-provoking film.
