All ages are invited to enjoy a performance by Monsieur Periné, recent Latin GRAMMY award winner for “Best New Artist.” Rooted in gypsy jazz and celebrating Django Reinhardt, Monsieur Periné‘s fresh style adds a variety of Latin elements from their native Colombia to the mix including cumbia, son, bolero, tango and samba, performed using traditional South American instruments like the charango, bandoneon, and Latin percussion. The band’s airy, yet virtuosic, instrumental foundation connects 1930s Paris with the youthful spirit of modern Bogotá. Hear their vibrant performance of “Swing a la Colombiana,” and make art inspired by the work of Uruguayan artist, Joaquín Torres-García, currently on view in Highlights of the Permanent Collection.
