ARTURO MÁRQUEZ

The slow, sensual Danzón is Cuba’s national dance, a genre beloved across Latin America and made internationally popular by Arturo Márquez’s Danzón No.2. Mexico’s most important living composer, Márquez fuses Latin American folk with classical traditions in ever-entrancing ways. Under Yuja Wang’s nimble fingers, the irresistible elegance of the Danzón No.2’s syncopated steps, as well as bravura instrumental breaks and pure, joyous swagger meld into a performance equally evocative of the dance hall as the concert hall. ¡Diviértete!
