This weekend, the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra makes merry and bright with the joyous and energetic Trio Bembe joining them for a holiday showcase. 

Inspired by the year-end street festivals or parrandas which take place in many Latin American countries, the WJO and Trio Bembe bring that celebratory spirit to the prairies in Felices Fiestas.

In a program that mixes authentic Afro-Cuban tunes and dances with classic North American carols and holiday songs, the Winnipeg Jazz Orchestra and Trio Bembe promise to share the warmth of the holiday season with toe-tapping, hand-clapping fun! 

The WJO’s Felices Fiestas with Trio Bembe takes place at the Seven Oaks Performing Arts Centre, Sunday, December 5 at 2 pm. For more details, visit: www.winnipegjazzorchestra.com
