Live at 8PM, Sept 27. 2025
Step into a rhythmic universe where tradition meets innovation. The Carlos Adames Group, Milwaukee’s award-winning Latin jazz ensemble, brings its electrifying sound to the stage—fusing Afro-Caribbean roots, modern jazz harmonies, and global percussion into a sonic experience that’s both timeless and fresh.
Led by Panamanian-born percussionist Carlos Adames, whose mastery spans continents and genres, the group delivers a high-energy performance that defies boundaries. Adames’s musical journey—from childhood drumming in Panama to studying with legends like Alex Acuña and Los Muñequitos de Matanzas - infuses every beat with heart, history, and bold creativity.
Joining him are:
Elias Holman on piano, weaving melodic textures that dance between jazz and Latin traditions
Tony Ayala, a seasoned percussionist who deepens the groove with rhythmic precision
John P. Simons on bass, anchoring the ensemble with soulful depth and drive
With accolades including “Best Jazz Musician” and “Best Local Band” from Milwaukee’s top publications, the Carlos Adames Group is more than a band - it’s a movement. Don’t miss this unforgettable night of rhythm, soul, and musical storytelling.
