At 76, trumpeter Arturo Sandoval is an almost legendary figure in Afro-Cuban music. Recently knighted by the King of Spain, Sandoval began his career as a co-founder of the essential Cuban band Irakere, and since moving to the States has incorporated the sounds of soul, jazz, funk, and Afrobeat into his music. His new album shows that Sandoval retains his youthful enthusiasm; it’s called Sangu – an inadvertent bit of Spanglish that simply means “sounds good.” Arturo Sandoval and his band are in residence at The Blue Note from Aug 25-30.
