Miguel Zenón’s Caravana Cultural
Miguel Zenón’s Caravana Cultural is a project that organizes free-of-charge jazz concerts in the rural areas of Puerto Rico. Each concert focuses on the music of a legendary jazz figure and is preceded by a pre-concert talk during which the audience is exposed to the basics of improvisation and to biographical information about the musician being honored. Since 2011, Miguel has presented concerts all over Puerto Rico. The next Caravana Cultural presentation will be on Sunday, August 11 at El Teatro Juanita Arenas in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico presenting the music of Wayne Shorter. More info available here. |
