Friday, 27 September from 7.30pm – 8.15pm (45mins) & 8.45pm – 9.45pm (1hr) @Esplanade Outdoor Theatre | Free Admission
Mexican pianist and composer Alina Ramirez and bassist, guitarist, composer and arranger Mario Lopez founded IreSon in 1991. Growing up surrounded by the tradition of Latin music, both have incorporated their formal classical training and knowledge of modern harmony to the music they play and compose.
Since the project started, many international musicians have performed with IreSon, bringing its rhythms and energy to festivals, clubs and events. Based in Singapore for almost 20 years, they have performed in Latin festivals at Chijmes and Fort Canning Park, concerts for the National Arts Council, Salsa Sensations at Marine Parade, Jazz by the Beach and Mosaic Festival.
IreSon’s music reflects the different influences and backgrounds of each of its members. Its essence blends tradition with contemporary styles, exploring Afro-Latin rhythms such as danzonete, son, bomba, bossa, samba and Latin folklore, bringing forth a unique sound.
