[JAZZ] Those interested in attending the Monsieur Periné show at the UB Center for the Arts will be happy to know that a second show has just been added. The Colombian gypsy jazz/Latin swing band will play two shows at the UBCFA, this Tuesday, April 18 at 7pm and now at 8:30pm as well. Attendees should also know that the set up for this show will be pretty unique, as the band and the audience will both be set up on the main stage to create a club-like setting. Which makes sense, as the music of Monsieur Prine, one of Colombia’s most popular bands, feels like it’s meant to be experienced in some kind of dimly lit 1930s rum joint. That’s not to say their music isn’t fresh sounding, it’s just hard to ignore the influence of classic gypsy jazz acts like Django Reinhart and the various 18th and 19th century latin music genres such as tango, bolero, and samba. It’s what they call “swing a la Colombiana” style music and it should be a one-of-a-kind experience at the UBCFA this Tuesday.
