Tiempo Libre

Wednesday, October 10

7:30 p.m.
Ingram Hall

Celebrate Vanderbilt's Homecoming Week kick-off with Grammy-nominated Tiempo Libre, one the hottest young Latin bands today. Equally at home in concert halls, jazz clubs and dance venues, the Miami-based band has become known for their incendiary, joyful performances of timba - an irresistible, dance-inducing mix of high-voltage Latin jazz and seductive rhythms - true modern heirs to the rich tradition of the music of their native Cuba.

Schooled in Havana conservatories, these seven extraordinary musicians came together to realize their collective musical dream: to create the first authentic all-Cuban timba band in the United States. Their eagerness to share their music with others led these multi-talented individuals to collaborate between projects to develop their new style together.

Hence the name Tiempo Libre (Free Time).

Reception at 6:00 p.m.
Pre-show Panel Conversation with Band at 6:30 p.m.
Facilitated by Center for Latin American and Iberian Studies
