Yerba Buena Gardens Festival 2011 | Opening Day Concert

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Ricardo Lemvo’s blend of Afro-Cuban rhythms with pan-African styles – soukous, Angolan semba and kizomba – has been described by the LA Times as “seamless and infectious.”

This Congo-born artist of Angolan ancestry is the embodiment of the Afro-Latin Diaspora which connects back to Mother Africa via the Cuban clave rhythm. Lemvo is equally at home singing in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Lingala, and Kikongo, songs that celebrate life, and most importantly, inspiring his audiences to let loose and dance away their worries.
