The
Teatro Apolo hosted this Wednesday the fourth of the nine proposals of the 34th
Almerijazz Festival. On stage, the Canarian vocalist Sara Lilu together with the quartet of saxophonist Kike Perdomo, completed by Francis Posé on double bass, Rajiv Jayaweera on drums and José Alberto Medina on piano.
The concert began with the quartet alone, with improvisations and technique in «Onach», by Perdomo himself. With Lilu already on stage came the vocal scat games on «Blues for Lennie», «One» and «La Raíz», the latter closer to island folklore. In the covers section, «Drume negrita» and «Night and day» were played, with space for solos. There were also pieces by Posé («Quiero estar siempre contigo») and by Jayaweera («Pistils»). The close came with «Friendship», by Perdomo, and an invitation to dance and sing.
