YERBA BUENA LIVE AT THE CROATIAN C. C. WITH VERY SPECIAL GUESTS D'TALLE (FROM CUBA).

A show not to be missed by anyone who likes Afro-Latin music. Grammy nominees Yerba Buena return to offer us a FULL concert as we say good bye to the summer. The New York powerhouse will feature material from their latest production, "Island Life", which has received rave reviews for being so eclectic and highly danceable. Yerba Buena is the band that plays the radio hit "Guajira, I love U 2 much", which features in the movie Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights.

To open the night, Vancouver's best kept secret, the all-female Cuban band D'TALLE will energize the house showing off their incredible talent. They will have Gilberto Moreaux (Vancouver's best drummer) backing them up, as well as phenomenal trumpet player Miguel Valdes (ex-Buena Vista Social Club). This will be concert to remember.
