Yomo Toro‘s spectacular, pioneering use of the cuatro (Puerto Rico’s 10-stringed guitar) has thrilled fans of all ages in concerts throughout the world. His dexterity and originality can be heard on his multiple recordings, his contributions to Willie Colon, Arsenio Rodriguez and Hector Lavoe’s albums, as well as in films, including the opening theme to Woody Allen’s "Bananas." Yomo Toro will perform with special guests, including Puerto Rican composer and poet "El Topo." Appropriate for ages 8 and up.

The Festival is sponsored by JP Morgan Chase, Time Warner Cable, Con Edison and DELTA.
