Mother's Day Sunday Salsa Surprise Dine & Dance

This very special night includes the launch of resident Cuban artist Rafael Ferrrer's new band Maferefún Yemayá, a free fun salsa lesson and prizes for the hottest Mamas on the dance floor. If you are planning to have dinner, we highly recommend you book now to guarantee a table.

It’s finally happening - Rafael is launching his own band, which he has called Maferefún Yemayá - which is Yorùbá (a Nigerian language and religion brought to Cuba with the slaves) for “Praise to my ancestor Yemayá - the Mother of all Mothers and the Seven Seas”. The band pays tribute to Rafael’s Afro-Cuban heritage and is dedicated to all mothers, but especially to his own mother who died in Cuba in March this year.

Featuring Andre Paris on saxophone, Ben Hunt on trumpet, Miguel Arñedo-Gomez on congas, Miles Crayford on keyboard, Patrick Bleakley on bass and Rafael Ferrer Noel on timbales/vocals.

Maferefún Yemayá plays Afro-Cuban (very danceable) jazz and will be debuting this Sunday, Mother’s Day @ The Southern Cross Tavern.

So if you are looking for something a little different to do this Sunday night, with or without your mother/children, please join us.
