About The Performance
Experience an irresistible blend of Afro-Latin music, jazz, and funk, led by Cuban-born and New York–based bandleader, vocalist, composer, and percussion virtuoso Pedrito Martinez. His long-running and Grammy Award–nominated Pedrito Martinez Group is a true New York powerhouse. The band grooves so hard it makes Martinez’s breathtaking rhythmic feats seem effortless. Catchy songwriting, rich musical traditions, and impeccable band chemistry come together in a high-energy performance enjoyed by listeners and dancers alike.
