“Evolution of a Sonero” solo show by Flaco Navaja

“Evolution of a Sonero”, presented by the National Museum of Puerto Rican Arts & Culture and produced in association with the UrbanTheatre Company, is the first full-length solo show by acclaimed artist Flaco Navaja. With unabashed love for The Bronx, a gift for crafting memorable characters and genuine good humor, Navaja and five top-notch musicians – aka The Razor Blades – bring on the charm, the rhythm and the soul essential to a Bronx Sonero. Paying homage to many great musical icons – from Janis Joplin to Menudo, from The Doors to Hector Lavore, from Jimi Hendrix to Ruben Blades – the play is as much about Navaja’s creative evolution as it is about the wild mix that gives life to a rhyme, a people and a culture. $40-$50, available online now.
