Poncho Sanchez

Poncho Sanchez learned from the masters. As a youngster, he played alongside Cal Tjader, Claire Fisher, and Mongo Santamaria. Now as a bandleader for almost two decades, he has unswervingly preserved a bedrock style of Afro-Cuban Latin jazz pioneered half a century ago by his heroes, while infusing it with his own fresh and engaging interpretations. Presented in association with The King Arts Complex, this Caliente Series performance is made possible through the generous support of Univar and series sponsors David and Mo Meuse.
