FRANKIE MARTINEZ
AND
THE ABAKUA AFRO-LATIN DANCE COMPANY

PRESENT
A night of latin dance theatre

Program
After Hour Funk is the pure expression of raw vintage fusion from a time where Afro, Latin and Jazz musical mixtures were not enough and electric guitars and soul-based Bogaloo presented itself in Latin music.

The infectious Latin Rhythms combined with the Urban malice and grit that has made Art in NYC what it is, has been captured and reproduced physically in this signature Afro-Latin Funk dance experience.

After Hour Funk is our late night experiment and our midday secret. The mind's trip through an abstract emotional festival and we invite all to join the party.

"Raices" or roots in English, is an account of slavery and revolution in
the Caribbean and the cultural outcome of several cultures combining to form a hybrid of custom and tradition without loosing sight of its origins. All
told through the voice of the exciting and intoxicating force of Latin music
from some of the most well known recording artists of the genre.

Being of Puerto Rican heritage and growing up in New York, Frankie shows us a story of our history. Mixing the best of hard core Latin dance with the finesse and sophistication of contemporary dance style choreography. The combination creates a deliciously exciting yet artistic depiction of the history of latin dance.
