Golpe Tierra

Arts + Literature Laboratory and Wisconsin Union Theater have put together another outstanding series of events for the Madison Jazz Festival. The big draw is the final weekend at the fest’s traditional Memorial Union home, with music all day on the Terrace; ticketed evening shows in Shannon Hall are by saxophonist Lakecia Benjamin & Phoenix (June 17) and 20 Feet From Stardom star Lisa Fischer joining Ranky Tanky (June 18). But be sure to explore the week of events leading up to the Union shows, including Miguel Zenón and Luis Perdomo (7 p.m., June 13, ALL), Rick Flowers and Amalgam X (6 p.m., June 14, Penn Park), and a concert celebrating the release of Jamie Breiwick's second album revisiting the music of Don Cherry (7 p.m., June 15, ALL). Find the full schedule below and tickets at madisonjazzfestivalwi.org.

media release: Once again, the Madison Jazz Festival is thrilled to partner with the NewBridge Summer Concerts Series at Warner Park. On Monday, June 12, 2023, 6-8pm, we’ll kick off the NewBridge series with the Afro-Peruvian music of Golpe Tierra and Latin dancing at the Warner Park shelter. This event is free for all ages to enjoy. Food carts will also be available.

The irresistible acoustic groove of Golpe Tierra bases its sound on the philosophy that, when we come together in music and dance to “beat the earth,” we are truly celebrating the act of community. Nick Moran, Juan Tomas Martinez, Richard Hildner, Pawan Benjamin, and Yorvanis Duran make up this guerrilla-style ensemble, employing the traditional Afro-Peruvian guitar-bass-cajón set-up. The group embarks on a musical journey throughout Latin-America, flirting with blues, jazz, and shades of soul. This uniquely-presented original and traditional music is sure to get you out of your seat to dance!

The NewBridge Summer Concert series will continue on Monday nights featuring a wide variety of music styles.
