Electric Piquete Salute the 60s during “Piquete Sessions” Night at Ball & Chain 4/26

Miami, FL – April 12, 2016 – Miami’s premiere live music venue Ball & Chainis will again host one of the area’s best Latin funk bands Electric Piquete during a monthly series now known as “Piquete Sessions“. Twice named Miami New Times’ “Best Latin Band” (2009 and 2015), the band will perform one set of original material, then perform cover versions of their favorite jazz, soul, rock and Latin songs written and recorded during the 1960s. There is no cover; 21 and over are welcome. The musical homage begins at 8 p.m.

Electric Piquete is probably best known for its fiery originals and inventive interpretations of Latin and jazz standards. A powerfully-tight drums / bass / guitar / keys rhythm section sets the groove for an incendiary horn section, taking listeners on an Afro-Caribbean journey of sound. The band features drummer / vocalist Ed Rosado, bassist / vocalist Michael Mut, ChrisCorreoso on guitar, Chip Gardner on keyboards, and Rich Dixon on trumpet and flugelhorn.

A unique and “very Miami” venue, Ball & Chain has been often profiled in local and national press in the two years since re-opening, most recently in a New York Times feature about Little Havana. Originally dedicated in 1935 as the Ball & Chain Saloon, the spot hosted musical luminaries such as Count Basie,Chet Atkins and Billie Holiday. There is a daily happy hour, weekly salsa night, and the venue is available for private parties and events.
