San Diego is lucky to have Grammy nominated Latin Jazz and Cuban salsa artist Maraca performing Live later this month.  For those of you not familiar with Orlando Valle ‘Maraca’, he is one of Cuba’s premier flutist and has been very influential in the Afro-Cuban band genre. 

He was nominated in 2003 as the “Best Salsa Album� at the U.S. Grammy Awards, making him the youngest Cuban artist ever nominated by the U.S. National Recording Academy. 

Maraca will be performing at Little Italy’s Anthology and there is a San Diego Salsa and Latin Dancing Meetup event set up already for you to RSVP. 

Here is a video of Maraca in action:

Come check out one of Cuba’s best!
