Party: Nachito Herrera and The Universals

Nachito is one of the world’s great Cuban pianists. His jaw dropping technique and the rich, powerful soulfulness of his playing blend in what is often an amazing display of musical power and emotion. Herrera recently received a nod from the state of Minnesota in 2014 when he was named an Immigrant of Distinction and an American Heritage Award from the American Immigration Council. Although he has been residing in Minnesota for the past few years, his renown is growing. He has played multiple times at the preeminent piano festival in North America, the Gilmore Festival. Combining Western Classical music with traditional Cuban rhythms, Herrera has been at the forefront of an exciting renaissance in Cuban music.

Nachito will also be playing a second show on July 21st starting at 7:00 pm.
