From the Isle of Music, week of December 19-24

This week, our special guest will be Degnis Bofill, an emerging young percussion star in Cuba who received two awards in this year’s JoJazz competition. We’ll have a brief interview and some music that features him on percussion. Also, in honor of their GRAMMY® nominations, we will feature music from Los Van Van’s La Fantasia and Chucho Valdes’ Tribute to Irakere. And, as always, other good things.
