Banda Ancha exhibit for jazz

Works by Nelson Dominguez, National Plastic Arts Award winner, as well as other Cuban artists are part of the exhibit Banda Ancha, recently opened in the context of the 31st Jazz Plaza International Festival.

Pedro Pablo Oliva, another National Plastic Arts award winner, Eduardo Roca (Choco), Flora Fong, Kamyl Bullaudy, Liang Dominguez, Santiago Hermes and young Yoandry Caceres were present in the opening.

Invited by Dominguez, the exhibit includes about 50 pieces with sculptures, engravings and painting of medium and big formats display today at Havana’s Pabellon Cuba.

 From this relationship comes the name of the room which aims at gathering several artists from different generations that, at first, want to give more color to Jazz Plaza Festival with pieces that are clearly referring to music in their majority, said Nelson Dominguez to Prensa Latina news agency.

The pieces Jazzeando and A todo jazz, by Bullaudy; El tres and La trompeta China, by Choco, and Jazz, by Flora Fong, stand out among them.

Banda Ancha also reflects on the diversity of universes, experiences and techniques with which each artist shows their marks on the canvas, cardboard or through bronze, as said the famous painter and sculptor.

 Dominguez regretted not having had enough time to create a specific work for this jazz festival, something he compensates with a big dimension canvas titled Los tres músicos, which he finished in 2008 and was brought from Peru especially for this occasion.

Yoandry Caceres talked about his presence in this exhibit, so much for the possibility of paying tribute to jazz, as for the combination of his work with “greats in Cuban plastic arts”, so it can be classified as the most representative of his career.

Banda ancha exhibit kept in time with Jazz Plaza Festival, along with musicians and groups from Cuba and other parts of the world. Nevertheless, the exhibit is meant to surpass the limits of this musical boundary and it will remained open to the public until January 17.
