Colombian singer, songwriter, and rising star, Marta Gomez, effortlessly melds American jazz idioms with rhythms from throughout South America. Her work embraces traditional rhythms and pays homage to iconic composers from Simon Diaz to Joan Manuel Serrat, creating a style that one critic called a beautiful "mix but not a fusion."

Come early for a 6:30 DJ set of music from around the world by some of the city's best. Food from Mama's Hot Tamales Cafe and a no-host bar will also be available.
