   Friday – 23rd Nov

LOS GATOS AY MAMÁ (6:30 pm)

The first band that will be opening the NCPA International Jazz Festival 2018 is a Latin oriented band, ‘Los Gatos, Ay Mamá’. The band encompasses six people, including a Cuban percussionist Miguelo Valdez, vocalist Aditi Malhotra, a bongo player from Panama and the fabulous Jazz Pianist from Kolkata – Pradyumna Singh Manot. One of the finest jazz pianists in India, Manot plays a brand of music that’s authentically South American, giving you the feeling that you’re in Puerto Rico or Cuba or New York. For the first time, Mumbai will get to hear a band of this caliber.
