Hernandez?
Answer: A fiery concert for Latin-Jazz lovers and Salsa dancers!
Willie Hernandez: El Paso’s notable showman, Latin crooner and
percussionist for the popular salsa band Azucar along with other jazz and salsa
bands. In Austin, he is the sonero and percussionist for Jazz Puerto Rico (Jazz PR).
Willie is recognized as “El Cantante del Pueblo”.
Jazz Puerto Rico (Jazz PR): Considered to be one of Austin’s top LatinJazz
and salsa bands. Founded in 1989 by Willie Hernandez and Randy Zimmerman,
Jazz PR began as an instrumental LatinJazz
project in Austin, Texas. Jazz PR is
known for its three trombones rhythm section and showcases original arrangements
of Latin classics and jazz standards along with the Caribbean sounds of Puerto
Rican salsa.
Proceeds of the event benefit the mission of JazzElPaso Connection by sponsoring, promoting, and
showcasing quality live jazz entertainment in the greater El Paso region and by contributing to the
education and enrichment of our area’s youth in support of the El Paso Youth Jazz Ensemble.
