content: John Santos Sextet & Bobi Cespedes Get your groove on Saturday evening with the John Santos Sextet, one of the premier Latin jazz ensembles in the world, led by seven-time GRAMMY-nominated percussionist John Santos. Born in San Francisco, Santos was raised in the Puerto Rican and Cape Verdean traditions of his family and surrounded by the fertile musical environment of the Bay Area. He plays alongside John Calloway (flute), Marco Diaz (piano, trumpet), David Flores (drums), Melecio Magdaluyo (saxophones), and Saul Sierra (bass). Joining the sextet on stage is bandleader Bobi Céspedes, an acclaimed vocalist and composer who izes in Cuban son in particular and Afro-Caribbean music, culture, and tradition in general.
