En Madrid el 21 y 22 de Febrero…
Pepe Rivero and Friends
El cubano Pepe Rivero podría ser considerado perfectamente como uno de los mejores pianistas de jazz latino. Su larga trayectoria que le ha llevado a colaborar con gente como Paquito D’Rivera, Celia Cruz, Alain Pérez, Miguel Ríos, y a impartir clases magistrales en varias universidades estadounidenses o canadienses, demuestran que es uno de los grandes.
Paquito D’Rivera Big Band
CON 18 MÚSICOS EN ESCENA
Es uno de los más grandes saxofonistas (si no el mejor) del mundo.
Aterriza ahora en España, una vez más, esta vez rodeado de una inmensa Big Band que nos permitirá empaparnos de los ritmos más calientes y las mejores melodías del latin jazz que corren por sus venas desde siempre.
Una ocasión única para disfrutar de Mr. Paqman en su momento más brillante.
Tributo a Bebo Valdes
El pianista bebo Valdés, es una figura central de la época de oro de la música cubana; padre de Chucho Valdés. Comienza su carrera profesional como pianista de una de las orquestas más populares de la época, la de Julio Cueva, para la cual compone el mambo “La rareza del siglo”. Transcurre la década de los cuarenta y el célebre contrabajista cubano, Israel López Cachao cambia el curso de la música cubana con su danzón “Mambo”.
Esta es la noche ideal para que Bebo reciba un buen homenaje musical de la mano de Paquito D’Rivera y Pepe Rivero.

An alien weed creeping through southern Kenya may threaten the largest wildlife migration on the planet, scientists say. The toxic plant, called Santa Maria feverfew, can also sicken people and kill animals.
The building blocks of rocky planets carry small amounts of water. That water may be what forms the oceans on the young planets according to a report by Lindy Elkins-Tanton of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the journal Astrophysics and Space Science.
following Minority Report steps?…soon to be a reality.

The Antikythera Mechanism, is, allegedly, the oldest version of a scientific computer. The Greeks, who used to be so clever that they never endured too much of a financial crisis, built it around 100 B.C.
Somehow, it disappeared into history’s cracks, until it was unearthed from a shipwreck in 1901. It took imperfect humans another 100 years to work out that its purpose was to mechanically track the bodies that are in outer space in order to anticipate events up there that might affect life down here.
