Two local ensembles round out the lineup of performers at this year's Cityfolk Festival: Son del Caribe and the Eddie Brookshire Quintet. Both are well-established groups who have been keeping audiences in the region happy for years.
The Cincinnati- based Latin music ensemble
Son del Caribe has earned a solid reputation among both dancers and listeners as
the top
salsa band in Ohio, with an exciting and very danceable pan-Caribbean and pan-American sound that includes not only
salsa but also such styles of Latin dance music as
merengue,
cumbia,
son,
bomba and
bachata as well as newer hybrids like
reggaeton. Son del Caribe is led by trombonist Jaime Morales, an assistant professor of music at Miami University, acclaimed classical composer, conductor and arranger and a top salsa musician from Puerto Rico who has played alongside such Latin music legends as Eddie Palmieri and Gilberto Santa Rosa. The popular 11-member band appears regularly at Latin dance clubs, community events and music festivals in Cincinnati, Dayton, northern Kentucky and southern Indiana. Among the band’s many high-profile engagements have been performances at Salsa on the Square in Fountain Square, the Cincinnati Salsa Congress and the inaugural Cincinnati Salsa Festival in 2008. The band will close the Dance Pavilion on Friday night.
A resident of Dayton for most of his life, award-winning jazz bassist
Eddie Brookshire is a longtime fixture on the local jazz scene. He’s played with such jazz masters as Johnny Lytle, Jimmy Scott, Elvin Jones, Norris Turney and Cal Collins and now leads both a big band and the
Eddie Brookshire Quintet, which includes Gary Onady (trumpet), Jack Novotny (tenor and soprano saxophone, flute, bass clarinet), Fenton Sparks (drums) and Keigo Hirakawa (piano). As a well-rehearsed working band with a stable roster and a commitment to performing mostly original material, the Eddie Brookshire Quintet has been extremely well received by jazz enthusiasts at the band’s regular appearances at Gilly’s and throughout the region. Brookshire is a faculty member at Sinclair Community College, where he teaches bass, improvisation and jazz combo; he also teaches bass and jazz combo at the University of Dayton. See the quintet on Sunday on the Main Stage. Listen to them now on

for me the reggaeton movement is the largest that has been generated throughout Latin America in recent years
