GALERIA The Art Venue, 111 Quimby Street, Westfield, NJ

The New Bojaira Flamenco/Jazz Band performs at the Latin Jazz @ Galeria music concert series in Westfield, NJ on Friday, April 24, 2026 at 7:30pm as part of a tour by this talented group from Spain and beyond. This special concert experience will bring to you an exciting fusion of American jazz and deeply rooted flamenco music &amp; dance.
New Bojaira (Bō-hī-ra) plays an original and engaging fusion, blending jazz improvisation with the excitement of flamenco rhythms, dance and singing to create a powerful combination of energy and subtlety on stage, taking audiences on a fascinating multi-cultural excursion. 
This creative group bridges the musical traditions from both sides of the Atlantic, delivering a sound that speaks to both Jazz and Flamenco fans. Pianist Jesús Hernández, singer/flautist Alfonso Cid, saxophonist &amp; flautist Peter Branin, double bassist Tim Ferguson, and drummer Mark Holen are joined by acclaimed Spanish flamenco dancer Elisabet Torras to generate the band’s uncommon energy with flamenco rhythms and the harmonic depth of jazz. New Bojaira's music transcends both styles, creating a new and wonderful synthesis.
With many well received concert performances in the United States, Spain, France, Italy and Portugal, this special ensemble of music artists takes the stage at the cozy GALERIA The Art Venue, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ. 
Refreshments will be available for your enjoyment. Also, enjoy the current art exhibitions at GALERIA of works by international and talented local fine artists. 
Event tickets are priced at $40. Advance tickets are available on line at:
