NYC Parks Arts, Culture & Fun presents Annette A. Aguilar & StringBeans
August 03, 2022
Jazz at Pier 84 Hudson River Park | Free
The celebrated percussionist, educator, and bandleader Annette A. Aguilar grew up in the Bay Area before moving to NYC, where she has earned two masters degrees and played with a wide array of important artists, including Tito Puente, Toshi Reagon and Arturo O’Farrill. She founded her Latin Jazz and Brazilian group StringBeans in 1992. Named in part after its unique instrumentation--including violin and other strings--this group has performed at the Kennedy Center and Jazz at Lincoln Center; across the United States; and, as Latin Jazz Ambassadors for the U.S. State Department, in many parts of Africa. .
