"Los Ciegos del Barrio" Comes To The Strand

(Lakewood, NJ) -- Coming to The Strand Theater on Saturday, December 4 at 7:00pm is Los Ciegos del Barrio. Why not start the holiday season with wonderful music and sounds? Bring your friends and families to a show you will not forget.

The core members of the group are: Alvin Suarez (lead guitar, percussion, drumkit, vocals and band director), Derek Suarez (bass, percussion, congas, vocals), and Machete (keyboards, accordion, harmonica, some bongos, vocals). Other members include: Jaime Diaz (rhythm guitar, bass, vocals), Jimmy Fontañez (tambora, bongos, vocals and sometimes guira), Angel Dueño (guira and timbales) and Tony Jimenez (congas and percussion).
