Jazz Night at Wynyard Grill: The Charruas

Live jazz every Thursday at Wynyard Grill, featuring different artists week to week.
The Charrúas are a group of award-winning Uruguayan musicians who are
visiting Aotearoa to be part of the 2023 Tauranga Jazz Festival, where they will
present their candombe-jazz fusion style.
Candombe is a Rio de la Plata music and dance, introduced originally by
African slaves to Uruguay during colonial times. Since then, it has fused with
other local styles to become a unique rhythm, today popularly recognised as a
Uruguayan trademark. Afro-Latin music followers will recognise the son clave,
a 3-2 rhythm, heard continuously under the melody played. In 2009, candombe
was declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Table bookings recommended. Don't miss out.
