Smith Center for the Arts

GENEVA, NY – The Smith CentGENEVA, NY – “The Buena Vista Social Club of Miami” (WDNA Radio), Cortadito, brings the Miami heat to the Smith Center for the Arts on Friday, October 22 at 8:00pm, to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month in Geneva, NY! Performing traditional early 20th Century Cuban music, this dynamic ensemble brings listeners back to a time when Trio Matamoros and Ignacio Piniero ruled the Cuban music world. Tickets are $20 (plus additional fees). To purchase tickets, visit thesmith.org, or visit or call our box office for phone and in-person sales, 10am-4pm, Tuesday-Friday.

Voted “Best Latin Act” by the Miami News Times, Cortadito reminds audiences that traditional music can be as fun and exciting as today’s mainstream Latin hits. A Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival favorite, Cortadito performs a wide array of styles from Son Montuno to Guaracha Boleros to Nengon and Bolero Son, guaranteed to get you up and moving.
The program is made possible with funds from the Decentralization Program, a regrant program of the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature and administered locally by Finger Lakes Community Arts Grants (FLCAG) at Auburn Public Theater.
