Join acclaimed soprano Zuly Inirio, pianist Amaury Morales, and percussionist Hugo Cruz for ¡Tumbao! - A Celebration of Afro-Latin Music. Originating in Afro-Cuban music as a basic rhythm played on the bass, in Afro-Caribbean slang, "Tumbao" has come to mean style, grace, rhythm, flair, panache, vigor, attitude, poise, confidence, and an unapologetic, in-your-face sense of self! This musical and visual celebration of Afro-Latin culture will include traditional Afro-Cuban and Afro-Dominican music, as well as works by Montsalvatge, Bor, Lecuona, and more.

Afro-Latina soprano Zuly Inirio hails from the Dominican Republic and has appeared as a soloist throughout the United States and Europe. Her roles include Mrs. Grose in The Turn of the Screw, First Lady in The Magic Flute, Gertrud in Hansel und Gretel, Santuzza in Cavalleria Rusticana, and scenes from Ariadne auf Naxos, Götterdämmerung, Falstaff, and Albert Herring.
