About this Event
Los Perros Cubanos features the music of Cuba’s Golden Age of the 1940s and 1950s. Since its inception in 2009, Los Perros Cubanos has become one of the Midwest’s hottest Latin acts. The band’s music combines the traditional Cuban music styles of Son Cubano, Salsa, Cha Cha, and Charanga with modern instrumental prowess to produce a captivating sound that moves your feet. Los Perros Cubanos take the influences of such Latin music immortals as Buena Vista Social Club, Beny Moré, Arsenio Rodriguez, Celia Cruz, Tito Puente, and Compay Segundo, and blend jazz, blues, rock and country into the mix to create a totally unique sound. You’ve never heard anything like Los Perros Cubanos! Prepare to dance the night away!

For this Courtyard event, feel free to arrive as early as 6:00pm for Poems While You Wait! Poems While You Wait [PWYW] is a collective of poets and their vintage typewriters who provide their patrons with an unexpected and decontextualized encounter with poetry.
The process is simple: give us your name, pick a topic that you would like us to write a poem about (ranging from specific to abstract with as much information or as little as you’d like), provide a $5 donation, and give us 15 minutes while you wander around. Upon your return you will have a custom-made, one-of-a-kind original poem to keep for yourself or to give as a gift.
