Laura Flores (CU) feat. Manu Contrera (UY) & Candombe DK ¦ Cph Jazz Festival ¦ Union

The Latin American candombe culture is finally taking root in Copenhagen. This is largely thanks to the music community Candombe DK, which has delivered two sold-out concerts with special Afro-Latino rhythms as its focal point. They return to Copenhagen Jazz Festival - this time with the project The Woman Who Sings the Drum, featuring the renowned Cuban singer Laura Flores Hernández. Flores is recognized as the female voice of candombe in Europe, and will perform alongside the talented Uruguayan pianist Manu Contrera and the lively band Candombe DK. It will be an unforgettable musical journey that blends the harmonies of jazz with the groove of candombe.
