This night is presented as part of Carnaval San Francisco, the largest multi-cultural celebration on the West Coast. The Afro-Cuban Jazz Cartel will feature music from their 2013 release “San Francisco,” which is a homage to San Francisco’s rich Latin musical heritage that boasts innovative arrangements and novel rhythmic grooves. The result is a fiery creation that reflects the melting pot identity of Latin-Jazz’s African, Caribbean and North American roots. The Cartel will be complemented by the “Nuyorican” soul and blues infused poetry of Sandra Garcia Rivera.

Where: Red Poppy Art House, 2698 Folsom St.

Admission: $10 – $15
