Blue Note Entertainment Group (BNEG) will open
Subrosa - a new Latin & World Music venue located in New York City's
Meatpacking District - with an opening preview event on Wednesday, November 12,
featuring performances by The Pedrito Martínez Group (shows at 7:00PM &
9:00PM). The venue's grand opening will follow in December.
Owned
and operated by BNEG, Subrosa, Latin for "under the rose," is an
intimate, eclectic listening room dedicated to showcasing music, art, and culture.
The 120 capacity basement space located on 63 Gansevoort St. intends to present
live music nightly (shows at 7:00PM & 9:00PM) and serve food. Additional
confirmed artists include guitarist Juanito Pascual, Cuban vocalist Jose
'Pepito' Gomez and drummer Francisco Mela. Tickets for all currently announced
shows are $20 and can be purchased at www.subrosanyc.com.
"We
are opening Subrosa to provide a new creative hub for eclectic music, with an
emphasis on Latin and World music disciplines," says Steven Bensusan,
President of Blue Note Entertainment Group. "This space will ultimately
serve as a destination for listeners to discover new globally-influenced music
in an accessible setting."
After a
nine-year monthly residency at New York's Guantanamera, The Pedrito Martínez
Group will move its residency to Subrosa, with performances multiple nights
each month. The daringly inventive Cuban percussionist Pedrito Martínez has
become a ubiquitous presence on the New York scene. "I am honored to be part
of the launch of Subrosa," says Martínez. "I am excited to be
starting a residency with the Blue Note family, who are known for their passion
and service to music." Following the soft launch on November 12, The
Pedrito Martínez Group is scheduled to perform at Subrosa on the following
dates: November 13, 19, 20; December 2, 16-17, 18, 23; January 12-14, 21-22,
29-30.
"Perdito
has clearly become a staple on New York's Latin and creative music
scenes," adds Bensusan. "We are absolutely thrilled to kick off our latest
New York City venue with Pedrito's group and host his new residency."
In
addition to Martínez, Subrosa has confirmed the following shows: Juanito
Pascual New Flamenco Trio - November 14; "Direct from Cuba Presents: Jose
'Pepito' Gomez - Special Tribute to Buena Vista Social Club" - November
21, 27, 28 & December 11; and the Francisco Mela Son Quartet - December 12,
