Ashburton Arts Centre

80s Club Night

A musical feast including classical, pop music and film music, plus some contemporary concert band pieces

The show compiles some of Grammy nominee composer Eduardo’s most alluring works for two guitars. Prepare to listen to classical styles merged with rock and son montunos, old Yoruba chants or feel-good rumbas with funk- boleros, and new-age tunes and cinematic pieces sitting alongside Cuban tumbaos with slap bass.

“She has probably the purest voice I have heard and at times it sent shivers up and down my spine” BBC
