CRUSHemailflyer-finaldraft

The wait is over! A perfect happy hour will pop in Tampa on Friday, March 4th-2016 & every Friday! We knew we couldn’t get you excited unless we CRUSHED it, and so it had to be launched in Historic Ybor City, the most eclectic social gathering spot in Tampa.

We have created a chill environment offering the best food and drink specials and live music anywhere in Tampa.

The CRUSH Happy Hour food menu has been crafted with the hungry drinker in mind combining pasta, meats and scrumptious small bites. It is all you care to eat for $7.

What would happy hour be without drink specials? Well, we have put together a non-stop drink specials menu that is sure to please.

Sol Y Son Cuban Band Direct From Cuba
    Behinds the scenes is a small group of Yborites forming a new art company for Cuban & United States Musical & Arts Trade exchange. Novel is the idea of these area gentlemen including Joe Capitano, Sr, Alan Kahana and 2 others trying to open up relations with the Cuban government to hear authentic Latin music here in Tampa. After 6 months of negotiations and great assistance from U.S. Congresswoman Kathy Castor in getting these trade agreements open with the Southern Communist island accomplished. The group will be playing in Ybor City, Tampa and Madeira Beach for the next 3 weeks. Then they will be going back to Cuba.
     ‘Sol y Son’ is a Cuban band. This band of experienced musicians from some of the most prestigious groups in Cuba was founded in 1990. Their reputation has grown since then both nationally and internationally, most notably in the UAE.
    A kickoff performance was held at Tequila’s Mexican Restaurant on Fat Tuesday night. Many local business and political leaders attending including Tampa City Councilman Charlie Miranda.

Direct from Cuba! See SOL Y SON live in Ybor City!3/9 – Ritz – 6-10pm – $27
3/14 – Herencia Cigar Bar – 9-11pm – FREE Admission

‘Sol y Son’ has a wide repertoire of songs which includes Latin American and Caribbean rhythms as well as Spanish, English and Arabic classics. All of these are delivered in  ‘Sol y Son’s’ distinctive style which has made them so popular wherever they have played. This Cuban specialty sound popularity is nowhere better seen than in the UAE where their contracts have been extended in five star resort hotels in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai. They have played there for well over a year now.
In addition to the above countries performed, they have presented their material on both radio and TV in their native Cuba, and have been given enthusiastic receptions in renown tourist centers, conventions and national events.
The group takes its name from the Cuban rhythm of ‘Son’, and its music is truly one of the best examples available today of this tropical Latin sound.
No matter what your taste, ‘Sol y Son’ will appeal with their flawless technique, popular selection, rhythmic sound and professional appearance.
Wherever they have been and wherever they will go, ‘Sol y Son’ always draw and receive the accolade they deserve.
