Jazz singer and songwriter Raquel Cepeda is celebrating the release of her new album—Passion—with a CD release concert and gala on October 19 at Houston’s MATCH Theater. Cepeda’s latest release is her most personal to date: a Latin jazz mosaic of 13 pieces, polishing five original compositions among gems from North and South American repertoires. The album’s progressive arrangements blend American swing elements with Afro-Cuban and Afro-Brazilian rhythms while incorporating further influences from Argentina and Venezuela.
The 7:30pm album release concert is part of by the Houston Art Explosion Festival and will be held at Matchbox 4, followed by the gala from 9:00pm to 12:00am at the MATCH Gallery. Works by renowned Venezuelan artist Roberto Weill will serve as backdrop for live performances by a variety of musical artists as gala guests enjoy food and drinks, a chance to meet and greet Cepeda in person, and a copy of the new CD....
