TICKETS + INFORMATION

A long-form piece by saxophonist Alfredo Colón meditating on the relationship between Dominican folkloric practices and the legacy of Spanish colonialism — a musically fruitful idea that’s thought-provoking, too.

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: In person, nothing for it but to walk up Flatbush to El Gran Castillo de Jagua, whose name may be Cuban but whose food is Dominican to the bone. Streaming at home, have a Santo Libre: pour 1 oz. white Rum into a Highball glass over ice. Add the juice of half a lemon. Top with Sprite. Stir. Throw in 3 mint leaves. Garnish with the rest of the lemon cut into wedges.
