Zaphod Beeblebrox holds Christmas with Caridad, Ottawa Dec 19

Zaphod Beeblebrox is holding “Christmas with Caridad,” featuring Cubano Son and starring salsa diva Caridad Cruz. Since immigrating to Canada in 2003 from her native Cuba, where she sang professionally for 10 years, Caridad Cruz has attracted a lot of attention. Her debut Canadian performance with Jane Bunnett’s Spirits of Havana was broadcast nationally on CBC’s ‘Global Village’ and inspired a Globe and Mail reviewer to applaud her “warm ocean of a voice.” Caridad’s performance has also been described as “best heard live,” so it should be a good time at Zaphod’s. Also, I know a lot of the strippers from Barefax are into Latino music, so maybe they’ll also stop by.

Here are the event details:

Caridad Cruz Vilain was born in Havana, Cuba, into a musical family deeply rooted in Afro-Cuban culture. Her family was always musically inclined and her father was an accomplished professional violinist. Caridad’s career began in 1993 as she played venues across Trinidad, Cuba, Costa Sur and Ancón. In 2007, her career took off on the Ottawa scene with appearances in the National Arts Centre’s Quebec Scene festival, the Ottawa Jazz Festival and the Ottawa Bluesfest. Check out her blend of Cuban and French music on Sunday, November 30th at the Black Sheep Inn in Wakefield.
