NICOLE YARLING

Nicole Yarling defies description. Her myriad of personal influences have created a product that begs attention across the board. Her chosen instruments are voice, violin and fiddle (in that order). Nicole is a rich velvet voice with technical skill and personality to boot! She is a rising star in the jazz community who, like many others, has been at it for years.

Nicole’s notable talent has a virtue all its own, but it would be remiss not to mention the late great vocal legend Joe Williams. Joe “discovered” Nicole through a series of events and adopted her as his very own project. He recognized this diamond in the rough, gleaming through, and began to invest in seeing Nicole rise to the top. Joe Williams Presents Nicole Yarling at the Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild was born as a result. This unique performance captures Nicole in her element and reflects her undeniable charisma. It also captures a moment in history which can never be duplicated: Joe Williams Presents… was to be Joe’s final recording. Sadly Joe passed away before he could see the actual release of his final work of art. He shared two duets with Nicole, plus two bonus tracks sung by Joe alone. Some would say it was a dying wish of Joe Williams to see Nicole succeed. Joe intended to escort Nicole to the highest limits, much in the same way Count Basie did for him in the late fifties.

GAFIEIRA RIO MIAMI

Special concert to celebrate the release of their debut album, Bring Back Samba.

Imagine Count Basie went down to Rio de Janeiro and combined his big band with a samba school. This is Gafieira Rio Miami, a one-of-a-kind, 11-piece Brazilian band created by bassist and Latin Grammy winner Diogo Brown. One of the most in-demand bass players in the industry, Brown has worked with renowned artists such as Laura Pausini, Buika, Nouvelle Vague and Gloria Estefan.

To put together this samba-jazz big band, he called on Latin Grammy-nominated saxophonist Dr. Pablo Gil and Pedro Carrero, former principal trombonist of the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra. With a powerful five-piece horn section, plus bass, guitar, drums, percussion and the lovely vocals of Isa Duarte, Gafieira Rio Miami fuses samba, jazz and soul inspired by the 20th century Rio de Janeiro ballroom dance music known as samba de gafieira.

The group’s repertoire includes gorgeous arrangements of classics by Gilberto Gil, Djavan, Alcione, Moacir Santos and others. Get ready to experience the joyous energy of Gafieira Rio Miami!

Live on the Plaza is a series of outdoor concerts on our Parker and Vann Thomson Plaza for the Arts.

LESLIE CARTAYA

Cuban singer-songwriter Leslie Cartaya carries the rhythms of her land in her blood, as well as the influence of American jazz and funk, which has shaped her artistic personality. Dubbed “La Princesa del Son,” Cartaya debuted as a soloist with the 2012 album No Pares, on which Caribbean, Afro-American, Afro-Cuban and Latin American rhythms fuse together. In 2013, she was nominated for a Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist. Her philosophy is that no dream is impossible, and she feels blessed to have sung alongside greats such Luis Enrique, Marisela Verena, Larry Harlow, Ed Calle and Steve Roitstein. The Miami Herald wrote that “Leslie Cartaya no para” — Leslie doesn’t stop.

La canta/autora cubano americana Leslie Cartaya lleva en su sangre los ritmos de su tierra, y a la vez, la influencia del jazz y el funk americano que han moldeado su personalidad artística para alcanzar su propio estilo. En el 2013 llego a ser nominada como Best New Artist en los Latin Grammy.

La princesa del Son se presenta como solista con su primera producción discográfica denominada “No Pares”. Los ritmos de la música caribeña, afroamericana, afrocubana y Latinoamericana se fusionan de forma armónica en este álbum que contiene 19 temas, de los cuales 18 son escritos por Leslie. Para Leslie, cantar es su mejor terapia. A través de la música ella aprendió desde muy pequeña a expresar claramente sus sentimientos, alegrías, pasiones, tristezas e incluso estados de melancolía. Para Cartaya, cuya filosofía de vida parte de la premisa de que no hay sueño imposible, cantar junto a los grandes como Luis Enrique, Marisela Verena, Larry Harlow, Ed Calle y Steve Roitstein fue una bendición. El destacado periodista Arturo Arias del Miami Herald comentó “Leslie Cartaya no para,” y tales apreciaciones son un estímulo para continuar haciendo buena música.

Con el lanzamiento oficial de “No Pares” Leslie Cartaya subió a la posición número siete en los charts latinos de Reverbnation en Miami y logró el reconocimiento de la industria al ser nominada como Best New Artist en el 14mo Latin Grammy. Cartaya sigue trabajando en la promoción de “No Pares” mientras se prepara para próximas presentaciones y giras promocionales por varios países de Latinoamérica.
