Mazinka - Arturo O'Farrill and Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra

Описание: "Mazinka", a folktune arranged by Steve Bernstein and performed by Arturo O'Farrill and Afro Latin Jazz Orchestra with soloists, Bobby Porcelli, Arturo O'Farrill, Anat Cohen, and Steve Bernstein at Symphony Space for the concert "Falafel, Freilach, and Frijoles: From Mambo to Borscht".

Falafel, Freilach, and Frijoles: From Mambo to Borscht examined the long and venerable relationship between the Latino and Jewish communities as evidenced by the history of Mambo and Salsa bands performing for avid dancers called "mamboniks" in the predominantly Jewish resort area of the Catskills known as the Borscht Belt. We also be explored the themes common to the larger Jewish and Latino communities, including a journey to the Middle East, the Mediterranean and North Africa. The evening casted Jewish and Yiddish classics in Afro Latin big band versions and also set Latin classics in traditional Klezmer settings.
