Legendary Cuban musician Juan de Marcos has spent the past semester at the UW, and music springs forth wherever he goes. This event is a celebration of his residency here, with performances from several UW School of Music ensembles, First Wave’s hip-hop performers and winners of a talent competition in Madison’s high schools. Topping it all off will be Kurtis Blow, who in 1979 became the first rapper signed to a major label.
