Great Performances presents Grupo Fantasma

The finest, funkiest and hardest working Latin American orchestra to come out of the U.S. in the last decade brings their trademark sound to Music City.  Guided by the deeply rooted traditions of cumbia, salsa, and funk, this masterful 11-piece ensemble band has forged a fresh new standard of excellence in Latin music.  From their critically acclaimed performances with Prince in 2007 to a national airing on PBS's Austin City Limits to a performance at Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2008, the band continues to expand their musical horizons and earth-shattering live shows.
