Sierra Maestra, a Havana-based, Grammy-nominated band that has been performing since 1976, will be bringing their traditional Cuban sound to Rosslyn’s Artisphere (1101 Wilson Blvd) tonight.
The group is making its only D.C.-area stop here for Artisphere’s Salsa Tuesdays. Dancing lessons start at 7:30 p.m., followed by the band’s performance and dancing from 8:30 to 11:00 p.m. Tickets are $25, discounted to $22 for students, military servicemembers and senior citizens.
Many of the members of Sierra Maestra have performed with the Buena Vista Social Club, the international “supergroup” created by Sierra Maestra founder Juan de Marcos Gonzales.
Tonight’s performance will take place in Artisphere’s 4,000 square foot ballroom.
