Enjoy a special opening night celebration and concert with Alejandro Del Valle and Orquesta La Moderna Tradición in the new Flower Piano Lounge!
Alejandro Del Valle, a self-taught pianist, arranger, and composer from Cuba now based in the Bay Area, blends American jazz and classical music with Latin rhythms, incorporating “stride piano” into Latin music, and has over 300 compositions influenced by Thelonious Monk and Ernesto Lecuona.
Orquesta La Moderna Tradición bursts with the sweet yet powerful sound of the Afro-Cuban charanga orchestra, which features violins and woodwinds interlocking with driving afro-Cuban rhythms. Since 1996, the 11-piece group has thrilled audiences across the country with a mix of contemporary timba-infused arrangements guaranteed to get you on your feet, and traditional danzónes that transport you back to the Havana social clubs of the 1950s.
