GIOVANNI HIDALGO & HORACIO ‘EL NEGRO’ HERNANDEZ

Giovanni Hidalgo-congas, Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez-drums

Giovanni Hidalgo will be performing at the Bimhuis for the first time. The Puerto Rican conga player is rated among the greatest in the world. He has worked with Dizzy Gillespie, Paul Simon and many others. Hidalgo will be joined on stage by Horacio ‘El Negro’ Hernandez, who has been responsible for sold out concerts at the Bimhuis over the last few years. El Negro is the rhythmical force behind world famous Latin artists like Santana, Chuco Valdes and Paquito D’Rivera. Without a doubt this will be a spectacular live show.

Celebrating jazz since 1974
