A Lincoln Center favorite since 2015, ¡VAYA! offers devotees of Latin music and movement a friendly community, top-notch orchestras, and the city’s most inviting dance floor. Bandleader Gonzalo Grau and his GRAMMY Award-nominated multi-piece combo La Clave Secreta originated as an extended family of Berklee College of Music students whose passion inspired aspirations of joyous explorations into fusion. In describing the group’s modus operandi, Grau cites influences from old and new approaches to son cubano, jazz, rhumba, R&B, and funk. La Clave Secreta embraces its own style, where timba and salsa, vintage and novelty, the classics and the originals merge into one powerful, undeniably fun sound. Grau and the band commemorates their Lincoln Center debut with a danceable evening of songs from their sophomore LP, 2023’s De Verdad Verdad, an album that Sound in Review calls “a musical journey that plays like a hybrid symphony… from Cuba to New York, from flamenco to Hip-Hop.”
