Hello NMJW Friends!
Here we are heading into the third weekend of Salsa/Jazz & Blues Under the Stars! It's been a scorcher out there, but the music has been even hotter. This weekend we're proud to present TWO great nights of music led by women for the enjoyment of ALL!
On Friday night, we welcome back to the Salsa Under the Stars stage Ivon Ulibarri y Cafe Mocha. Absolutely one of the best, most in sync salsa bands in the South West, Cafe Mocha never fails to deliver. Ivon leads the band, and Rosie's a powerhouse on vocals. You want cha-cha? You got it. You want SON?? You got it. You know you can't go wrong with Cafe Mocha. Remember to get the the Albuquerque Museum Amphitheater early and take advantage of the FREE salsa class with Salsa Baby!
On Juneteenth, NMJW proudly presents the first of two nights featuring some of New Mexico’s most dynamic women vocalists. Don't miss Ladies Sing the Blues featuring Hillary Smith, Cathryn McGill, Joan Cere (formally Griffin), Wendy Beach, and none other than the Rhinestones! Are you ready for some hollerin’, honkin’, shoutin and gettin’ down? Then Ladies Sing the Blues is YOUR NIGHT under the stars! Join some of Albuquerque’s finest blues singers and musicians for a night of blistering blues born from the African-American A.M.E. Churches, to the field hollers and streets of Memphis, Chicago, New Orleans, to the dusty, back roads, train tracks, cross roads, and juke joints of the American landscape, making a way out of no way. The emcee for Ladies Sing the Blues is KUNM radio personality, writer, poet and blogger, Mary Oishi!
You gotta be there! Get your tickets in advance and avoid the queue!
