Dayton Philharmonic - Latin Fire! Tiempo Libre
DPO dares you to sit still and keep your toes from tapping and your heart from pounding as the music of Tiempo Libre invades every part of your body. And your soul.
Classically trained at Cuba’s premier conservatories, the members of three-time Grammy-nominated Tiempo Libre are true modern heirs to the rich musical tradition of their native Cuba. The Miami-based group is celebrated for its sophisticated performances of timba music, an irresistible, dance-inducing mix of Latin jazz and Cuban song. Tiempo Libre has introduced Cuban music to new audiences through appearances on shows such as The Tonight Show, Live from Lincoln Center, and Dancing With the Stars, as well as concerts worldwide, including performances at Tanglewood, New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, The Playboy Jazz Festival at the Hollywood Bowl, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Hong Kong’s Kwai Tsing Theatre, and Tuscan Sun Festival in Cortona, Italy.
Tiempo Libre collaborated on "Para Ti" with violinist Joshua Bell for his At Home with Friends album, and they frequently play with leading orchestras. Their previous albums, Bach in Havana (Sony Masterworks), Arroz Con Mango (Shanachie), and Lo Que Esperabas (Shanachie) were nominated for Grammys.
The band recently released My Secret Radio on Sony Masterworks. Doubtless the group will perform such numbers from it as "Lo Mio Primero (My Turn)," "San Antonio," "Como Hace Años (Just Like Years Ago)," "Prende La Radio (Turn on the Radio)," "Mi Gente (My People)," "Aceite (Oil)," "Mecánica (More Is Less)," "Mujer de Fuego (She's on Fire)," "Ahora Te Quieres Ir (And Now You Want to Go)," "After the Love Is Gone," and "Mi Antena (My Antenna)."
Tiempo Libre means “free time” or “leisure time.” Spending an evening with this multitalented group will certain qualify as leisure time. But we dare you to sit still and keep your toes from tapping and your heart from pounding as the music of Tiempo Libre invades every part of your body. And your soul.
