The great Cuban pianist and composer Chucho Valds presents La Creacin (The Creation), his new work for big band, Afro-Cuban percussion, and vocals. La Creacin is a suite in four movements that explores the story of creation according to the Regla de Ocha, the Afro-Cuban religion known as Santera. It is also an extraordinary summation of an extraordinary artist who is celebrating his 80th birthday in October. The piece uses a sonic palette that includes elements of Santera ritual music, African music, the blues, and what Valds describes as an atmosphere in the style of Miles Davis Bitches Brew.Nuyorican salsa legend Willie Coln burst onto the scene in the 1970s, combining the rhythms of traditional music from Cuba, Puerto Rico, Brazil, and across Africa, and has since explored the complex relationshipsmusical and otherwisebetween Puerto Rico and the US. He was named one of the 30 most influential Latin artists of all time by Billboard magazine, has won Grammys and a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Latin Grammys, and is the best-selling salsa artist of all time.Cimafunk brings together Afro-Cuban sounds and rhythms with global funk, hip-hop, and soul making fans out of funk legend George Clinton and The New York Times, who said hes on a quest to create one nation under a groove.
