Saturday April 4th
Mill Valley Masonic
19 Corte Madera Ave Mill Valley

Over the past 20 years Andrea has recorded more than a dozen CD’s with many artists including, Africando, Noel Pointer, and Timbalaye. Her breakthrough performance as the flutist for the popular Latin band Charanga ‘76, catapulted her into Salsa history and fame as the first female flutist to play this music in the United States. She is here is the Bay area for one show only and has the finest band of local Latin musicians alive today.Although Andrea has worked in the Bay area before, this is her first as a leader and as she says,"Playing with musicians of this caliber as professionals and as people is a real honor."

... Her marvelous tone and technique are astonishing. Her adventurous writing 
equals and rival her playing here. She is definitely among those who deserves 
recognition not only among her peers, but the public in general.  Hubert Laws
