SABROSON - Latin Jazz on a Holiday

Mon 2 Mar 2009 @ 5:00pm

Admission Members $12 PJS Student Members $6 Concessions $18 Guests $20

It’s not often you get the chance to dance to a saucy rhythm at the PJS – get some friends together and celebrate the Labour Day holiday with some foot-sliding, hip-swinging style and an action packed evening of merriment.

Sabroson is a dynamic Perth group comprising eight talented World Musicians performing the new taste, the modern experience, the finest and hottest ‘Salsa-licious’ salsa, Latin jazz and contemporary music this side of Latin-America. Traditional infectious rhythms are combined with their own blatantly awesome grooves and arrangements exhibiting a highly percussive orientation and encouraging diverse audiences to get up and shake it all about.

Sabroson's repertoire is unashamedly, though not exclusively Latin, drawing from the vast pool of musical richness from Cuba, Puerto Rico, North America and Australia. The influences are unmistakable: Tito Puente, the Buena Vista Social Club, Eddie Palmieri, the Afro-Cuban All Stars, Santana, Osomatli, Willy Colon, Ray Barreto, Ruban Blades, Oscar D'Leon, Cat Empire and more.

Overwhelming in its popularity, Latin music is a taste universal in appeal. Join us for a fun night to windup the long-weekend.
