The Voice of America Presents a Performance by Juan P. Chavez & Berklee College of Music’s High-Powered Latin Ensemble, Díle


Wednesday May 23, 2006

I, Juan P. Chavez, was very fortunate to make my first television performance on Voice of America, a show broadcast to more than 115 million weekly worldwide. The show will air this summer (I believe) and features interviews and a half-hour performance.

Below is the info from thier website:

Join us from 3:00 – 4:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 23, 2007, for a live performance by the new Latin band, Díle.

Díle (pronounced DEE-leh, meaning "tell him/her") features some of Boston’s Berklee College of Music's finest young musicians. Hailing from five nations and three continents, the members were drawn together at Berklee by the Latin music they love.

Díle—ten pieces, including a full horn section, percussionists, vocals, and violin—creates a deep, soulful, and infectious vibe that brings honor to the artistic tradition of the dance band.

Díle performs a repertoire that runs from classic '70s New York salsa to contemporary Cuban timba to popular Dominican merengue, from Tito Puente and Celia Cruz to Elvis Crespo and many more. Learn more at Berklee's website, at http://www.berklee.edu/about/.
