Those who know, will know this… here’s another memorable night at Lula Lounge …

EVARISTO MACHADO 8 PM
Join us to celebrate the release of Evaristo’s independently produced CD, ‘Siempre Que Llueve…’ (After the Rain). This CD showcases Evaristo’s roots in Cuban Trova, a style for singer-songwriters who accompany themselves on the guitar. This is a collection of poetic songs that focus on the lyrics, both personal and political, drawn from his experiences in Italy, Canada and of course, his native Cuba. Evaristo has gathered an all-star band to present these songs that layer the Trova style with rock, urban, reggae and Afro-Cuban rhythms. Come out and enjoy some great music and help us toast the official release of this exciting CD.

SON ACHE – 10:30
One of Toronto’s most popular Cuban music groups, Son Ache, performs their patented blend of high-energy son montuno that has been packing dance-floors for many years.
