There will be a brief talk-back with the artists following their presentations.

Rousing fans to boogie and shake to the sounds of a Colombian coastal beat, Very Be Careful is alive with rhythms and pulsating grooves that pull dancers to their feet and splash smiles across listeners' faces. With a Caribbean soul and a California heart, this ultimate good-times bar band embraces its Latin roots with a devotion to Colombian vallenato folk music, mixed with a contemporary funk feel. Very Be Careful is part of Carnegie Hall's Neighborhood Concerts Series.
Tickets are available at El Museo del Barrio on the day of the concert, on a first-come basis, beginning at 12:00pm. No advance RSVP required.
