For more than three decades, conguero Poncho Sanchez has stirred up a fiery stew of straight-a-head jazz, gritty soul music, and infectious melodies and rhythms from a variety of Latin American and South American sources. He taught himself to play guitar, flute, drums and timbales, but eventually settled on the congas. His album Latin Soul received a Grammy award as Best Latin Album of 1999. Sanchez’s deeply personal reimagining of the jazz canon, as well as his own spirited original compositions, affirm his place at the forefront of Latin Jazz’s trailblazers.
Running Time: approx. 75 minutes, with no intermission
