SUMMARY:Marimar Live at The Bar(n) at Sonark Farms with El Jefecito Food Truck
DESCRIPTION:Get your tickets nows for an evening with Miramar\, reimagining the Latin bolero and carrying forward the timeless bolero beat. $15\nPLUS: El Jefecito Food Truck serving exceptional Mexican favorites all night. \nABOUT MIRAMAR\nMiramar reimagines the Latin bolero and carries the torch of bolero beat—a genre that rose to international fame in the 1960s by blending nostalgic ballads with psychedelic rock\, bossa nova\, funk\, jazz\, and more. An offshoot of the acclaimed indie-salsa band Bio Ritmo\, Miramar was one of the first Latin bands to perform on NPR’s Tiny Desk and has since introduced its unique take on bolero to audiences worldwide\, releasing music on two of Brooklyn’s most iconic independent labels: Barbès and Daptone Records. Their latest album\, Entre Tus Flores\, released on the historic tropical label Ansonia Records\, was hailed by Staf Magazine (Spain) as “one of the greatest discoveries of recent years\,” and praised by Lira Magazine (Sweden) as “crazy\, updated\, odd – and irresistible.”\nMiramar’s undeniable magic lies in the chemistry between vocalist-songwriter Rei Álvarez and the “gran voz de la diva\,” Laura Ann Singh. Their “heartbreaking vocals suck in every nerve” (Lira)\, and they “harmonize with such precision and grace that it’s hard to imagine a day when they didn’t sing together” (Style Weekly). The Álvarez–Singh duo is supported by a lush\, dreamlike soundscape arranged by bandleader Marlysse Simmons-Argandoña\, who alternates between piano and combo organs. As a full band\, Miramar also includes Gary Kalar on electric guitar\, Giustino Riccio on percussion\, Dan Martinez on bass and occasional collaborates with string quartets and symphony orchestras. Its core members and collaborators are based between Richmond\, San Juan\, and Brooklyn.\nhttps://miramar-music.com/ \nABOUT EL JEFECITO FOOD TRUCK\nFor more than twenty years\, Chef Laureano has been a driving force in some of Durham’s finest restaurants\, earning a reputation for precision\, creativity\, and an unwavering commitment to flavor.
