Alba Musik Latin Jazz Flamenco Concert in Westfield, NJ — September 19
GALERIA The Art Venue, · 111 Quimby Street, Westfield, NJ 07090.
Westfield welcomes an evening of international artistry and cultural fusion as the Alba Musik group brings flamenco, jazz, pop, and world music to downtown. GALERIA opens its doors to a celebration of music deeply rooted in family legacy and artistic tradition.
Barbara Martínez carries a rich lineage of Latin arts. Her grandmother is Morenita Rey, a celebrated Argentinian tango singer and actress. Her father, Rafael Martínez, is a renowned Venezuelan sculptor connected to the kinetic art movement. Her mother, Amelia Arenas, is a playwright and art historian. Martínez herself has worked as an actor, dancer, and choreographer in multimedia musical plays. Joining her is Albert Alabedra, a guitarist from Barcelona, Spain, self-taught on guitar since age 14. His roots in southern Spain's Córdoba and Sevilla connect him to traditional flamenco, while Barcelona's cosmopolitan influence shapes his broader musical voice. Together, Martínez and Alabedra have released studio albums "Dawn" and "Alma," both reaching GRAMMY's first-round nominations.
The performance also features Olyda Ola, a vocalist, flamenco dancer, and percussionist, and Sean Kupiz, a bassist and percussionist. The ensemble blends flamenco with jazz, funk, pop, and world music into a dynamic cultural experience. The concert takes place Saturday, September 19, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. at GALERIA, 111 Quimby Street, Westfield, NJ.
