-Also, on the plaza we'll catch KLEZMANIA! San Francisco's premiere klezmer music ensemble and Kol Creation, Hebrew, Ethnic, and Reggae music from around the world.
Afterwards we'll stroll back across the street for a picnic at Yerba Buena Gardens and a concert by Omar Sosa starting at 1 pm. Cuban composer and pianist Omar Sosa's new touring ensemble, Afreecanos, explores the rich heritage of African music in jazz and Latin music. Drawing upon his Afro-Cuban roots, Sosa artfully weaves traditional elements from across the African diaspora and the Americas with his own distinctive sound, producing a thoroughly unique jazz idiom. The band's arrangements combine the folkloric with the contemporary - the ancestral with the urban - all with a Latin jazz heart. http://www.ybgf.org/c...
