If you dug The Havana Cuba All-Stars, then without a doubt you’re going to love ¡Cubanismo! Founded by legendary trumpeter Jesús Alemañy, this all-star orchestra celebrates the legacy of Cuban music incorporating dance styles from around the world. Their sizzling up-tempo is full of swaggering horns and wild polyrhythms, recalling the vintage big-band sound. In that mix, they also throw in some traditional rumba, cha-cha and even lesser known rhythms developed by the Cuban jazz greats of the ’40s. Intrigued yet? Then bust a move with ¡Cubanismo! at McAninch Arts Center at the College of DuPage main campus in Glen Ellyn. Performance is on Sunday, February 18 at 3 pm.
