Sounds of the World: Afro Latin Fever
The Winter Park Playhouse teams up with Barbara Chandler Productions to present Sounds of the World: Afro Latin Fever, an evening celebrating popular songs of Hispanic origin, Flamenco dancing, and African drumming. This unique one-night event will take place at The Winter Park Playhouse in their beautiful lobby bar/cabaret space on Thursday, October 24, 2024 at 7:30pm.
The Sounds of the World quarterly cabaret series is a community outreach initiative providing a platform for underrepresented voices to perform at the Winter Park Playhouse. By teaming up with Barbara Chandler Productions, this series will shine a spotlight on unique talent in the area that highlights particular cultural experiences each quarter.
Afro Latin Fever will feature the vocal talents of Sizla Aponte and her accompanist, professional Flamenco dancing by Briana Small, and African drumming by Thobus Lubamba. This is a one-hour cabaret-style event.
Tickets are $20 plus a pre-purchased drink selection. Seating is limited, so advance reservations are strongly recommended. All tickets are general seating and the doors open at 6:30pm for the 7:30pm show.
"I am very excited to be working in collaboration once again with The Winter Park Playhouse! As we present Afro Latin Fever, we pay tribute to Hispanic and African heritage and traditions and present a unique blend of talent that reflects this diverse community!"
