Win Tickets to See Cecilia Zabala and Philippe Baden Powell Jan. 26 in NYC

<span style="font-weight: 400;">If you’re a New Yorker who loves South America, singer-songwriters and jazz, are you ever in for a treat. On Thurs., Jan. 26, Philippe Baden Powell--son of famed Brazilian guitarist and composer Baden Powell--and the Argentine singer-songwriter Cecilia Zabala <a href="http://www.as-coa.org/events/cecilia-zabala-philippe-baden-powell-fronteras" target="_blank">are playing together at Americas Society</a>, and we want you to be there. </span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">To enter to win a pair of tickets, send an email to </span><a href="info@afropop.org" target="_blank"><span style="font-weight: 400;">info@afropop</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">.org and put “Fronteras Giveaway” in the subject line.</span> <iframe loading="lazy" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/4L6ox1tUO14" width="640" height="360" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Philippe Baden Powell only half followed in his father’s footsteps--he’s a virtuosic musician too, but opted for the piano instead of the guitar. No worries, though. On their 2015 collaborative album </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fronteras</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">, Cecilia Zabala proves she is more than capable of filling in on the six-string, and she has a lovely voice to boot. The album, which came out in 2015, is plaintive but stylistically varied.</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">This is the duo’s New York debut; don’t miss it!</span>
