Bio-Ritmo
Hot Salsa
Bio Ritmo is recognized around the globe as a leader in the "new 'old school' Salsa movement. With creative director Rei Alvarez as the lead singer, composer, visual artist and DJ, together with veteran timbale master/musical director Giustino Riccio, pianist/composer Marlysse Simmons-Argadona and trombonist/composer Tobias Whitaker, they lead the group in writing songs that have helped renew an international interest in a return to the raw, experimental 70's style Salsa sound.
Besides a deep appreciation and understanding of Afro-Latin music, Bio Ritmo's members come from eclectic mix of musical backgrounds that attributes to the band's fresh, unique and soulful sound. It's Funky, it's Salsa Dura, Afro-Latin, Dance Music with a touch of Samba, Arabic, Afro-Beat, Sci-Fi and Rock&Roll flavor.
The Jazz in the Garden Series is a free concert series featuring an array of artists performing various styles of jazz from swing to progressive to Latin every Friday evening at the National Gallery of Art Sculpture Garden come rain or shine.
