Albita in The Big Apple!

Short notice post about Albita's concert in New York City tomorrow night. I have a pair of tickets for the concert for the person who can answer this question: who designed, made and installed the steel fence around Albita's house in Miami?

Albita in New York!

Albita in New York!

On Wednesday June 3rd, S.O.B.’s presents the CD Release Party of Albita, the Cuban songstress from Havana that has moved the world with her music. Since arriving in Miami in 1993, her spectacular and authentic performance of contagious Cuban music has taken her career to an international level, performing all throughout Europe, Latin America, Australia, Africa and Malaysia, where she has shared stage with such greats as the late Celia Cruz, Phil Collins, Melissa Ethredge, and Tony Bennett. Albita has recorded eight albums, seven have received nominations

While building her name in Little Havana, she attracted the attention of famous celebrities like, Gianni Versace, Quincy Jones, Madonna, Sly Stallone, Paco de Lucia, Marco Antonio Muniz, Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, among others. Her high energy and electrifying performance combines rumba, son, mambo, and Afro-Cuban rhythms and she does it with true authenticity to her Cuban roots. Her live performance is riveting and unforgettable, portraying a true artist who is here to stay.

Albita has recorded eight albums, seven have received Grammy nominations. Finally after she created her own record label "Angel Dawn Records" she won two Grammys for "Best Contemporary Tropical Record of the Year".

This next album is sure to be a Grammy contender in 2009/10.
