Ray Obiedo and Mambo Caribe is made up of some of the finest Jazz musicians the San Francisco Bay Area has to offer. With its heavy influence of African grooves, Brazilian and Caribbean rhythms and a hybrid of pop & soul, a traditional Latin Jazz sound is always at the core of the ensemble. A unique aspect of the group is it's ability to always incorporate a variety of Funk and R & B groove elements into its various arrangements.

Guitarist/composer Ray Obiedo formed this group in 2002 to further explore his love of Latin music. His compositions for the group are drawn from many musical influences, including mainstream jazz and R&B as well as other music genres. Mambo Caribe works with a wonderful rich array of textures and colors, melding together all of its elements for a delightfully distinct Bay Area flavor.

Acclaimed vocalist Sandy Cressman, known as a singer's singer, expresses her deep love of Brazilian and Latin jazz through her soaring, warm and expressive voice.

Auburn Placer Performing Arts Center Presents

In Concert at the State Theatre
CANTEFABLE
Nancy Thym and Thilo Viehrig
"Witches, Fairies and Demons
Medieval to Modern Songs of Magic and Enchantment for Harp and Fiddle"
Sunday, October 10, 4:00 pm
Admission $15.00

Nancy Thym, a native of Auburn who now lives in Germany, presents a musical journey from medieval music and Celtic ballads to Rock 'n Roll and Blues. She accompanies herself on various harps and is joined by Thilo Viehrig on medieval fiddle and rebec. Together they perform under the name CANTEFABLE, a medieval term for a story, which is partly spoken and partly sung or accompanied by music. The programs offered by Nancy Thym and Thilo Viehrig are a refreshing blend of medieval and traditional music interwoven with stories and dance which transport the listener to far-off times and places.

Appropriate to the Autumn season, they will be performing songs and stories that tell of witches, fairies, demons and devils: a harp player carried off to the Celtic land of the faerie, or a princess who rescues her sweetheart from the clutches of the queen of faerie, the devil thwarted by an artist painting a fresco of the Virgin Mary, or a minstrel who spends the night in a haunted castle. Witches and magic are of course also a favorite theme in Rock 'n Roll songs! Nancy, a folklorist and accomplished storyteller, makes the performance come alive with her renditions of the stories behind each song.

Nancy and Thilo accompany early Scottish and Irish ballads on medieval instruments, lending these songs a very unique new/old sound. Their medieval music ranges from the spherical sounds of German plainchant to the fiery rhythms of Spanish dance tunes. Thilo Viehrig, who studied instrument building in East Germany, built all the instruments based on medieval iconography. And when she turns to Rock 'n Roll, Nancy Thym shows that harps do not solely belong in the hands of angels!

Together Nancy Thym & Thilo Viehrig weave music, song and stories into a spellbinding web of enchantment which transports the listeners into a magical world.
