Following the meal, at 6:30 p.m., Marcel Amores and Plan Ashé will bring you some Latin music in a concert at the church.

Amores and Ashé brings together diverse and vibrant musicians that put their heart and talent to create a fresh & new sound influenced by Cuban, Spanish and world contemporary music.

Plan Ashé delivers – through soul & music – the message of our brothers and ancestors in the mother land of Africa: the Yorubas, Nigeria. They came to the Western hemisphere and influenced Cuba, the Caribbean and Latin-America with their culture, music, magic and language.

Ashé: in Yoruba language represents the concept of the power to make things happen and produce a change.

In Cuba, the term Ashé has become part of the popular culture to express gratitude, and best of luck to our beloved friends and family.
