Puerto Rico-born drummer Dimas Sánchez will be bringing his band to Winter Garden for a night of sizzling Afro-Latin music.
The band will perform from 8 to 11 p.m. Saturday, July 20, at Pilars Martini & Loft, 146 W. Plant St., Suite 120, Winter Garden.
Sánchez’s musical journey has been shaped by mentors such as Tony Sánchez, Keith Copeland, Ignacio Berroa, and Ángel “Cachete” Maldonado. In the 1980s, he delved into the rich traditions of Afro-Puerto Rican folklore under the guidance of Jesús Cepeda, Petra Cepeda and Don Rafael Cepeda.
Throughout his career, Dimas has collaborated with a wide array of musicians and groups, including the Xavier Cugat Orchestra, Taller de Jazz Don Pedro, David Sánchez, Giovanni Hidalgo, Eddie “GuaGua” Rivera, Milly Puente, Gabriel Hernandez, Nestor Torres and Chuchito Valdés, among others.
