Once again, the Madison Jazz Festival is thrilled to partner with the NewBridge Summer Concerts Series at Warner Park. On Monday, June 12, 2023, 6-8pm, we’ll kick off the NewBridge series with the Afro-Peruvian music of Golpe Tierra and Latin dancing.
The irresistible acoustic groove of Golpe Tierra bases its sound on the philosophy that, when we come together in music and dance to “beat the earth,” we are truly celebrating the act of community. Nick Moran, Juan Tomas Martinez, Richard Hildner, Pawan Benjamin, and Yorvanis Duran make up this guerrilla-style ensemble, employing the traditional Afro-Peruvian guitar-bass-cajón set-up. The group embarks on a musical journey throughout Latin-America, flirting with blues, jazz, and shades of soul. This uniquely-presented original and traditional music is sure to get you out of your seat to dance!
