SUMMARY:Make Music Not War
DESCRIPTION:Make Music Not War is an evening with Raging Brass and Primo Cubano\, celebrating peace. \nRaging Brass is a 7-piece band collectively creating Afro-Caribbean music. They are a brass-roots dance band following the musical migration from West Africa to Cuba\, Jamaica\, and Brazil with the spirit of New Orleans. \nThis eclectic group was established in 2014 by trumpeter and bandleader Marc Chillemi in Southern Maine. Raging Brass explores roots music fueled by the rhythmic and melodic intuition of each player in the styles of Afro-Beat\, Ska\, Soukous\, Highlife\, Rocksteady\, Roots Reggae\, Samba\, Cumbia\, and Salsa. \nRaging Brass features saxophonists Mike Ayotte and Kyle Hardy\, trombonist Dave Noyes\, tubist Rafael Kielt-Fryre\, guitarist and vocalist Matt Wasowski\, drummer Gary Gemmiti\, and Marc Chillemi\, arranger/composer and trumpet player. \nPrimo Cubano plays traditional Cuban dance music called “SON\,” which dates back to the turn of the 20th Century. Son is the most popular style to come out of Cuba and is the primary contributor to the blend of Latin styles today known as Salsa.  It was first a music of the country people and eventually migrated to Havana\, where it was urbanized and began to draw a wider audience. \nPrimo Cubano consists of Paul D’Alessio on Tres Cubano and vocals\, Marc Chillemi on Trumpet\, percussion and vocals\, Lenny Hatch on Congas\, Bongo and Bell\, Duane Edwards on Upright Bass\, and Eric Winter on Timbales\, percussion and vocals. \nPrimo Cubano interprets the classic Son Cubano with affinity\, appreciation and inspiration bringing this vibrant music to life for audiences in Maine and beyond.

Tom has a multi-style background in blues\, New Orleans R&B and bebop piano. Peter has been playing New Orleans and Chicago-style jazz since he was fourteen. For the Hadacol Bouncers\, Tom and Peter handpicked some of their favorite musicians from the Portland and Portsmouth jazz scene. Like any band of this size\, there are several players who rotate in and out\, but the following are the established core.” \n  \nPortland Swing Project hosts swing dances in Congress Square Park every third Friday from May through August. \n  \n  \n
