On Monday October 3, 2011 at Yoshi's San Francisco the World jazz ensemble Quijeremá, and Classical Revolution's Musical Art Quintet join forces to re-orchestrate the notions of jazz, Latin American and classical musics. Rooted in the African Diaspora of South America, Al Son del Tunduki melds the sounds of bombos, kenas and violins to reveal an unsung history.

Quijeremá and Classical Revolution's Musical Art Quintet's unique relationship was born in 2009 as part of their artist residencies at the Red Poppy Art House, a hot bed of creativity in San Francisco's own Mission District. Their collaborations produced a series of fiery performances that had audiences craving more. The Musical Art Quintet and Quijeremá both share a place in the vanguard of their respective genres, bringing chamber music and Latin American folk music into into the 21st century. While steeped in tradition, both groups transcend their genres, performing music that is truly modern and unique.

Quijeremá's Al Son del Tunduki debuts a new repertoire of Afro-Andino material and features the performance of the Musical Art Quintet's stellar string ensemble.

Quijeremá and Classical Revolution's Musical Art Quintet will also celebrate the release of their respective CDs: "Kakri: Variations for the Venezuelan Bandola Llanera" and "Nuevo Chamber".
