Following the acclaimed tributes to Tito Puente in April 2017 and Machito in May 2019, the Hostos Center for the Arts & Culture presents ¡El Inolvidable! Tito Rodriguez, a three-day retrospective of the iconic singer’s life, song and lasting influence from November 11 to 13 on the campus of Hostos Community College, 450 Grand Concourse (at 149th Street), in the Bronx. With his elegant voice, graceful manner and impeccable style, Tito Rodríguez (1923-1973) rose to the top of Latin music leaving behind a legacy of boleros, Afro-Cuban standards, instrumentals and mambo. His impact is incalculable – influencing salsa greats from Cheo Feliciano, Ismael Miranda to Gilberto Santa Rosa.

Under the artistic direction of the singer’s son, Tito Rodríguez, Jr., as well as consultant and Latin music historian Joe Conzo, Sr., the festival is designed for both Tito Rodríguez enthusiasts and those less familiar with his music. The weekend includes film screenings, never-before-heard recordings, a family concert, a panel discussion – and to top it all off – 2 main concerts with the Tito Rodríguez Orchestra led by son Tito Rodríguez, Jr. with multi-Grammy Award winner Gilberto Santa Rosa – known to his fans as El Caballero de la Salsa (Salsa’s Gentleman). The main concerts take place on Saturday, November 12 at 8:00 PM and on Sunday, November 13 at 4:00 PM in the Main Theater. Together - live and on the stage at Hostos - they will perform 24 of the beloved singer’s legendary songs - from his mambos and cha-cha-chas to his romantic boleros and smokey torch songs. John “Dandy” Rodríguez, Jr. will take to the stage in a free family concert on Saturday, November 12 at 12:30 PM with an informative performance demonstrating the different styles of Latin music, such as the mambo, cha-cha-cha and bolero. Throughout the concert, the bandleader will perform some of Tito Rodríguez’ music and speak about the singer’s enduring legacy and importance. This family concert is appropriate for ages 4 and up. Free admission with ticket: Call (718) 518-4455.

Zakir Hussain, the acknowledged master of the Indian tabla, and Niladri Kumar, the young star sitarist, are at the very top of their form, and together represent the very essence of music: rhythm and melody. Their every performance is an opportunity for transcendent flights of musical imagination grounded in one of the world’s great musical traditions, Northern Indian (“Hindustani”) classical music. What Ravi Shankar and Hussain’s father Ustad Allarakha introduced to America in the 1950s and in particular at the 1967 Monterey Pop Festival and at Woodstock—a thousand-year-old tradition of matchless interaction between drummer and melody player—has passed to the best imaginable hands.

WMI's MASTERS OF INDIAN MUSIC series presents legends from the two primary forms of Indian classical music: the Northern Indian tradition of Hindustani classical music and the Southern Indian tradition of Carnatic Indian classical music.

Notoriously pale-skinned, mysteriously dark-souled—comic Jim Gaffigan hits the stage with brand new material in his Dark Pale Tour. He’s an Emmy winner, comedy husband, father to many, and one of our most beloved comedic voices. You know him from his endlessly quotable standup specials, including Comedy Monster, The Pale Tourist, King Baby, Beyond the Pale, Mr. Universe, Obsessed, Cinco, Noble Ape and Quality Time. With six GRAMMY-nominated comedy albums, two New York Times best-selling books, and roughly a bazillion film and TV roles, it’s amazing Jim has any energy left. But he’s as dark, pale and hilarious as ever.
