Puerto Plata’s sweet, nostaligic voice is laced with the kind of wisdom that’s reminiscent of the late Ibrahim Ferrer of Buena Vista Social Club. Combining meringue, guaracha, son and música jíbara, Puerto Plata takes the audience back to the Golden Age of Dominican guitar music before the saxophone and accordion became dominant. An heir to an unbroken native son tradition, Plata offers a taste of the living music of the great soneros. Son originated in eastern Cuba when African rhythm and drumming was introduced to Havana to produce the mambo, salsa, timba and more. The Dominican Republic version of son, intertwines bolero, guaracha and early meringue.

At age 85, the Dominican master, Jose Cobles is as charismatic and vigorous as ever. Born in the resort town of Puerto Plata in 1923, and later given that as a nickname, Plata plays the guitar and sings Dominican sones, boleros and merengues in a voice that has seen its share of romance and trouble.

The next performance in the VIVA! & Gala series will be the Shaolin Warriors of China on Wednesday, November 4 in the Ohio Theatre at the PlayhouseSquare, at 7:30 p.m. In a fully choreographed theatrical production, the world-renowned Shaolin Warriors bring the remarkable skill, stunning movement, and spectacular imagery of martial arts to stages throughout the world.

VIVA! & Gala Around Town debuted as the museum’s renovations began in 2005. This series took spectacular performances from many different countries, award-winning recording artists, and acclaimed dance companies to some of Cleveland’s most impressive venues. The current 2009-2010 series splits its season between Around Town performances in the fall and a return home to the museum’s Gartner Auditorium in February.
