We’re excited to announce that we will be sharing this fine night at Southpaw (our home away from home) with Bryan Vargas Y Ya Esta, an incredible band that puts an electrified, soulful spin on Mambo, Rumba and Son music from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. And you can expect some more bumpin’ new material from your good friends at Akoya. Yes indeed, it’ll be a night of unadulterated getting down. Tickets are available now at ticketweb.com, and for further information, check out the flyer above.
