Christmas with Jose Conde y Ola Fresca

Saturday, December 6, 2008, 8:00 p.m. - Jose Conde takes his Cuban roots and grafts them onto a dizzying range of Afro-Latin styles, from Puerto Rican bomba to Haitian compas to New Orleans swamp-funk, for a nonstop blend of party-stoking grooves. Celebrate Christmas with a smorgasbord of sounds that "plucks the nerve that trips the booty-shake mechanism in everybody."*
