Join us for a FREE WORKSHOP from 4:30-6:00 pm by Cuban tres guitar virtuoso Renesito Avich! Featured as the 2018 Folklife Artist-in-Residence, Avich will bring to life various styles of music from Santiago de Cuba.
Don't miss this free music and dance workshop featuring Renesito Avich! Considered a virtuoso of the Cuban tres guitar, Avich has mastered the son, or traditional folk music of Cuba, and continues to explore the related styles of nengón, changüí, and kiriva in original compositions.
Renesito Avich, a winner of several national competitions, hails from the culturally rich Santiago de Cuba where he began singing and playing the Cuban tres guitar at 14. As a teenager, Avich performed with some of Cuba’s hottest groups and went on to tour internationally before settling in Sarasota in 2014. He keeps Sarasota area audiences dancing in regular performances, and teaches music at Sarasota County Technical Institute. Avich recently released the album A Solo (available on Amazon and iTunes), featuring songs inspired by his homeland. For more visit: http://renesitoavich.com.
