New Yor-Uba celebrated their 40-year anniversary with several nights of performance at Dizzy’s Lincoln Center followed by a New England tour. Funded in part by the New England Foundation for the Arts, personnel for the tour featured guest alto saxophonist Greg Osby and the perennially featured master folklorist Roman Díaz. A wide range of activities in Springfield and Holyoke MA and at Boston University and The First Congregational Church of Old Lyme CT included full group concerts, post-concert talkbacks, concerts of sacred Afro-Cuban music including a church service, panels, lecture-conversations on Afro-Cuban and African spirituality, a composing/arranging workshop and class visits in Religion and Art History.
