Evolution of a Sonero

Evolution of a Sonero, the first full-length solo show written and performed by poet, actor, singer, and Latino favorite Flaco Navaja, is a fresh salsa epic about growing up, getting inspired, and staying on track. With unabashed love for the Bronx, a gift for crafting memorable characters, and genuine good humor, Navaja and five musicians —aka The Razor Blades—bring on the charm, the rhythm, and the soul essential to a Bronx Sonero. Paying homage to musical icons – from Janis Joplin to Menudo, from The Doors to Héctor Lavoe, from Jimi Hendrix to Rubén Blades – the play is as much about Navaja’s creative evolution as it is the wild mix that gives life to a rhyme, a people and a culture.
