Primo Cubano to perform Camden Summer Sounds concert, Aug. 11

    CAMDEN — Primo Cubano will perform this year’s second Camden Summer Sounds concert Sunday, Aug. 11, at 4 p.m., at the Camden Snow Bowl, 20 Barnestown Road. Thanks to Camden Opera House’s Community Arts Fund, admission is free.

    Primo Cubano plays “son,” the traditional Cuban dance music that led to the blend of Latin styles today known as salsa. Band founder Paul D’Alessio encountered this music on a trip to Cuba in 2004 with the Brunswick-Trinidad Sister City Association, a cooperative between Brunswick, Maine, and the city of Trinidad, Cuba. Primo Cubano has been inspiring dancers since 2007 with its Maine-made Cuban music.

    Attendees are invited to bring lawn seating and picnics to these free events; water will be available for sale, to benefit series sponsor the Community Arts Fund. Still to come in the series are: Aug. 18, acclaimed New England art rock band Billy Wylder, which weaves together American folk, rock and world music; and, Aug. 25, Portland-based indie-soul sextet Midnight Breakfast, including Camden native Myles Kelley.

    All dogs must be on leash.

    In the event of wet weather, the concert will be held at the downtown Camden Opera House. Any rain location decisions will be made 5 p.m. the day before and posted on camdenoperahouse.com and in social media.
