Manuel Valera Quartet
About This Event
Manuel Valera brings his quartet to The Django, presenting music shaped by his Cuban roots and his work in New York small-group and Afro‑Cuban settings. Valera's compositions treat rhythm as a structural device and favor architectural, conversational interplay over display; the quartet's program will foreground those compositional and rhythmic concerns in a club context.
