Roberto Carcasses at Abanico Theatre

Roberto Carcasses Unplugged will be at the Abanico Theatre (3138 Commodore Plaza) for one show only tomorrow night, October 30 at 9 pm.

Roberto is one of the "driving forces in a new style of music dominating the Havana music scene."

Tickets are $20 for general admission and $10 for students. For tickets, please call 786-523-3902 or you may purchase them at the box office.


Better known as Robertico Carcassés in artistic circles, he graduated specializing in percussion from the National School Of Arts in Havana in 1991. A year later he embarked on
numerous tours in Argentina, Germany, and Spain as a pianist in Santiago Feliú's band. In the '90s Carcassés and sax player Yosvany Terry led the Afro-Cuban jazz outfit Columna B in the U.S., and around the same time he gave a workshop at Stanford University.

Wow, A&M is showing some cojones with this one, if he is FROM Havana. I'm impressed!

Do you now the definition of "cojones" ?
This comment is totally out of line.

Anon 2:08, I do know the definition of cojones, and with the political heat anyone in Miami gets who brings in a Cuban artist or musician, I believe it showed a lot of strength in its convictions or, if you want to be more literal, "balls" (cojones) on A&M's part to have a Cuban musician (from Cuba) perform there. Sorry, but I don't see anything out of line about showing I'm impressed with A&M's willingness to put art before politics.

You Anglos don't get it. The word COJONES in spanish is very low class and only low class Cubans use such a word.
Ball equals to Huevos....sounds much better.
There is a level of education that should be fallowed in a public blog like this one.

I learned to use cojones among well educated, high class Spaniards, but perhaps it is one of those things that is said among one's friends and family but not in public? If so, perdoneme por ser mal educada.

Abanico Theatre? Who the heck is that? What kind of stuff do they do? When did they open? Why is this the first time we're hearing about them? The South Florida Theatre Scene wants to know.
