Pablo Cardenas Presents “Latin Funk Night”

We’re back! And for the first time ever at Encore! Get ready to enjoy all-time funk, soul, R&B, and reggae hits performed in a Cuban and Latin style by The Westcoast Cuban Orchestra. The band returns with another world-class show, featuring a fusion of genres rarely seen here. Latin Funk Night represents a concept with no limits, our mission is to reinvent the musical legacy of legends like Sharon Jones, Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, Amy Winehouse, Etta James, Ray Charles, Whitney Houston, Tina Turner, Michael Jackson, Sade, and Gloria Estefan—all played Cuban style! If you love music with an interesting, unexpected sound, this event is for you. We are bringing you classic melodies enriched and refreshed with exotic rhythms like salsa, bachata, and merengue. Our artists boast solid musical training, diverse backgrounds, and spectacular improvisational skills, adding jazz, blues, and other influences to create a totally unique sound. This time, we’re featuring four outstanding vocalists: Leif Bradshaw, Lauren Marshall, Wes Carroll and Olivia Olavvca. Since every song is perfect for partner dancing, we invite all Latin dance fans to join us! If you need a little encouragement to try some new steps, the incredible Tatiana Hassan from Colombia will be teaching a class and giving a special dance performance. See you there!
