Yosmel Montejo and Vox Sambou—Skirball Stages S1:E6

Описание: Season 1 of the Skirball's music documentary series ends on a high note! Grab your dancing shoes for a high-energy performance featuring Cuban-born musician Yosmel Montejo, fresh from the release of his first album, “Red Suitcase.” Together with his band of accomplished Latin jazz musicians, the LA-based artist delights from the Skirball's spectacular Ahmanson Hall. Then, joining from his home in Montreal, Canada, is Vox Sambou. A native Haitian, Sambou incorporates traditional rhythms of Haiti with afrobeat, jazz, reggae, and hip-hop. Together, Montejo and Sambou take us on a trip through the intoxicating beats of the Caribbean.

Also go behind the scenes with the artists for a look at their musical processes, aspirations, and hopes for the future in the midst of a global pandemic.

In 2020, as the global pandemic restricted long-distance travel and large gatherings, the Skirball reimagined its concert format to create the music documentary series Skirball Stages—creating connection near and far through music and storytelling. Season 1 pairs national and international acts originally booked for the Skirball’s Sunset Concerts 2020 season with talents from the local music scene.
