Cuban-born, New York-based Pedrito Martinez is not only an unbelievable percussionist and a great bandleader — he's also one of the most exuberant performers you'll ever see, moreover combining that exuberance with immense complexity. Here he'll put the African into Afro-Cuban by opening with a set of Yoruba cermonial music for bata drums and voices. Then it's back to his combo (augmented tonight with a couple of extra horns) for a trip to timba heaven.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Turkish standby Peri Ela is a perennial favorite of 92nd Street Y audiences.
