OASIS HOTELS & RESORTS STARTS THE SUMMER WITH A BANG; ANNOUCES SUMMER MUSIC FESTIVALS

 

Oasis Offers Guests and Locals to Experience Entertainment Across Genres

 

 

CANCUN, Quintana Roo, Mexico, May 18, 2015 — Oasis Hotels & Resorts, the leading all-inclusive vacation resort brand in the Mexican Caribbean, is proud to announce dates for its legendary Jazz U, Ultra Electro Latin Beat Summer Electronic Music and Country Music Festivals, all part of their annual summer music festival series.

 

“In just four years, our music festivals have become tremendously popular because we aim to entertain our guests while at the same time incorporating local culture. Guests enjoy watching the more established acts just as much as they love when we introduce them to ground-breaking artists they may have never heard of back home,” said Enrique Klein, Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Oasis Hotels & Resorts. “Vacation experiences should be just as much about relaxation as about discovery, and these music festivals are a great way to bring together people from all over the world where they can communicate and partake through music.”

 

Oasis Hotels & Resorts kicked off the summer with the fourth annual Oasis Jazz U Festival, May 14^th – 23^rd, 2015. Widely regarded for bringing together some of the world’s greatest jazz musicians, this year featured a fantastic line-up of artists with Mexican influences, offering a unique sound that mesmerized fans and hotel guests alike. In past years, the festival brought talents such as Trombone Shorty, Macea Parker, Brad Mehldhau and many more to Cancun. This year’s roster included:

 

• Eddie Palmieri is known as one of the finest Latin Jazz pianist of the past 50 years. In the past few years, Palmieri has received the United State’s highest honor in Jazz, The NEA Jazz Masters Award and the Latin Recording Academy’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
• Na’Rimbo is a rare group that fuses traditional jazz instruments to create a sound where folk music, Mexican popular music, Latin rhythms and jazz meet. Creating an explosion of extraordinary sounds, the group has performed in several national and international festivals.
• Hector Infanzon is a world-renowned pianist, composer and arranger, whose sounds merge the core of traditional forms of Mexico City as well as folklore, classical and Afro-Caribbean beats. He has played in numerous national and international Jazz festivals and has also been commissioned to arrange traditional Mexican music for the Querétaro Philharmonic Orchestras.
• Hiram Gomez is a Mexico City born bassist, composer and arranger. Beginning as a bass player for Los Hermanos Blazquez at age 7, Hiram became a studio musician at age 18 and traveled the world. As time progressed, Hiram has shared the stage with some of best jazz musicians and touched the biggest stages: Madison Square Garden, Radio City Music Hall, Hotel MGM Grand etc.
• Juan D’Anyelica is a guitarist from Madrid, Spain who started studying flamenco guitar and made his debut at the Monumental Theater of Madrid alongside the greatest Spanish flamenco performers. Staying true to this method, D’Anyelica settled in Cancun where he performs in Cancun’s famous hotel zone about 300 times each year.
• Diego El Cigala has been called “the Sinatra of flamenco.” His talents have won him three Grammy’s, Britain’s BBC Radio recognition as well as “record of the year” by the New York Times. El Cigala has sold more than a million copies worldwide and remains one of the worlds most exciting and innovating flamenco singers today.

 

The upcoming Ultra Electro Latin Beat Summer Electronic Music Festival will run each weekend from May 29^th – July 26^th, featuring mega-artists from the electro-latino genre, including Puerto Rican reggaeton duos Zion & Lennox (Friday, May 29^th) and Jowel & Randy (Friday, July 3^rd).

“As an added value to our guests, we bring in some of the most talented up-and-coming Country music artists to offer our guests experiences that transcend the traditional all-inclusive offer,” said Klein. “For those five days, from morning to night, there is a performance happening at any given venue within the resort.
