Legendary percussionist and two-time GRAMMY nominee Sammy Figueroa joins rising Brazilian jazz singer Mirella Costa on stage at Faena Theater for an exciting performance on July 25th as part of Faena’s second annual Summer Jazz Series.

Having played alongside some of music’s greatest stars, including David Bowie, Mariah Carey, Quincy Jones and more, Sammy Figueroa remains one of the world’s great percussionists whose talent spans genres and generations to present a rich trove of Latin, Brazilian and Venezuelan jazz virtuoso flair.
