Pablo Sanhueza - LIVE! at the Lounge in Partnership with KKFI

Pablo Sanhueza has been deemed as “Kansas City’s Heart & Soul of Latin Music” by JAM Magazine, and recognized as the region’s premier Salsa & Latin Jazz percussionist and bandleader. Since his arrival to Kansas City from Santiago, Chile in 1996 Pablo has dedicated the past 25 years of his distinguished career to the music of the Latin American experience, as a percussionist, bandleader, and teaching artist who has worked with three generations of musicians and the Historic 18th & Vine jazz district. As a performer, Sanhueza brings the charisma and precision of the Maestros of the Mambo and Big Band era. In 2019 Sanhueza presented his apprentice musicians and veteran collaboration project to an audience reach of nearly 40,000—hosting the longest-running salsa & Latin jazz nights in the Midwest at the Blue Room.
