  Wisconsin, USA - The Wisconsin Union Theater has announced the
return of the
Poncho
Sánchez Latin Jazz Band on Friday, October 21, 2005 at 8 pm. Following his
sold-out performance in 2002, Sanchez comes back to create another night of hot
rhythms, beats and dancing. And the music doesn't end when the band stops
playing. Ticket holders are invited to a free dance party in the Rathskeller
after the show. Tickets start at $18 for the general public, $10 for UW-Madison
students. Call the box office at 262-2201 to order tickets, or order online at
www.uniontheater.wisc.edu.
Sanchez’s eight-piece band sets the standard for snappy salsa beats, mambo sets
and even traditional jazz arrangements. More than anything else, Poncho Sanchez
is a storyteller, with his congas and seasoned ensemble doing the talking. Live
in concert or on recordings, they spin vivacious tales that pay homage to the
glories of a half-century tradition that was born when Afro-Cuban rhythms merged
with bebop.
The show is sponsored by the Wisconsin Union Directorate Theater Committee with
additional support from WORT, 89.9 FM.
Tickets start at $18. UW-Madison students tickets are only $10 each. For more
information, call the box office at 608-262-2201.
