Hoard will star in both performances at 7:00 p.m. local time in two well-known concert halls in Old Havana: the first, at the Martí Theater and the second, at the National Museum of Fine Arts Theater.

He will also participate in exchanges with Cuban musicians and students of the artistic educational system.

Hoard’s lyrical capacity is demonstrated through jazz, soul and gospel, which gave him a reputation on the New York scene, with a presence on important stages of his country, along with great groups and musicians, such as Bryan Carter and his Young Swangers Orchestra.

The interpreter’s visit to the island will culminate on June 30, endorsed by the Cuban Ministry of Culture and the Cuban Institute of Music.
