On Thursday, February 18th at 7 p.m., Du Vin welcomes Cerro Negro with Rumba Negro and La Caravana
Cerro Negro returns to Hawaii in February with a new palette of sounds and songs. The band blends musical styles and instruments from around the globe. In addition to their Flamenco roots, Cerro Negro will present Peruvian, Balkan and Turkish inspirations (to name just a few). Their instruments include cajon (box drum), Spanish guitars, Irish bodhran (frame drum), Turkish "cumbus" (a banjo-like, stringed instrument), German melodica, and electronic synth-controllers to create a modern dance vibe.
Then on Saturday, February 20th at 8 p.m., Du Vin hosts Guitarist and award-winning composer, Jeff Linsky.
Jeff has been sharing his beautiful music with audiences around the world for over three decades. Linsky has performed in concerts halls throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America. He makes Hawaii an annual stop.
