IRVING FIELDS & SEPTETO RODRIGUEZ: "DREIDELS & BONGOS"
MAKOR
35 West 67th Street (CPW + Columbus)
212-601-1000 + www.makor.org (Info/Tickets)
Two generations of Latin Jewish musicians come together for two special
shows. At the age of 90, legendary lounge pianist and bandleader IRVING
FIELDS is the godfather of Latin Jewish music. Fields is noted for
creating this musical cocktail by blending the rhythms and melodies
Havana, Harlem, and the Catskills, most notably via 1959's multi-
million seller Bagels and Bongos, which was re-released earlier this
year. Joining Fields is SEPTETO RODRIGUEZ, led by Cuban-born
percussionist/ composer Roberto Juan Rodriguez. Rod
riguez is acclaimed for his innovative fusing of Cuban and Jewish
music, most recently on 2004's Baila! Gitano Baila!, "a mesmerizing
meld of pre-salsa Cuban music and traditional Jewish melodies."
