Marcin Kydrynski presents SIESTA on the Go: Richard Bona & Alfredo Rodriguez Trio

The collaboration of Richard Bona (Cameroonian bassist and vocalist) and Alfredo Rodríguez (Cuban pianist) is a fusion of African rhythms and Cuban jazz that has gained recognition at the largest jazz festivals in the world.

Their collaboration intensified with Rodríguez's album Tocororo (2016), on which Bona made a guest appearance on the song Raíces (Roots).

They combine jazz with folk music, afrobeat and Latin American classics.

SIESTA on the road

The premise of SIESTA en route is a live presentation of artists known from Marcin Kydryński's Sunday broadcasts of Pora Siesta and from the bestselling Siesta compilations (20th editions have already been released). The host and artistic director of SIESTA on the way is Marcin Kydryński, radio operator, author and composer of texts, record producer and photographer and co-organizer of the Siesta Festival in Gdańsk.

SIESTA on the road hosted world-famous celebrities such as Pat Metheny, Bobby McFerrin & Chick Corea and Dianne Reeves. Also featured in the project were: Richard Bona, Ana Moura, Camané, Tito Paris, Sara Tavares, Lura, Mayra Andrade, Tcheka, Elida Almeida, Yami, Nancy Vieira, Lucibela, Márcio Faraco and Dino D'Santiago.

In Siesta, the interpenetration of cultures; the blurring of borders while respecting the traditions of the regions; reconciliation over historical divisions, these are the most valuable values alongside the very matter of music.

Duration is subject to change.

The booker and organizer of the concert is 4Music management & booking.
