AMHERST — The Jensen Community Center in Amherst is excited to bring Yazmin and Beat Zero to the stage on Saturday, April 6.

The evening will begin with an open bar and refreshments at 5:30 p.m. with a Latin dance lesson at 6:00 p.m. led by performer, Yazmin. The dance lesson is free with the purchase of a ticket to the show. Showtime will be in the Jensen Center Theater at 7:00 p.m.

Yazmin has lived a life of music from day one, having grown up with musical parents. Her latest album The Nautilus (July, 2018) was recorded in Havana, Cuba with producers she met while living and studying music there. Over the years, Cuban music has played a big role in her life. She spent over a decade studying Latin piano with master Rebeca Mauleón-Santana, among others, and while in Havana studied at the highly esteemed Instituto Superior de Arte.

Whether pounding out Cuban tumbaos or singing a soft, heartwrenching ballad, Yazmin’s music comes straight from the soul. The Nautilus highlights her unique Folk-Rock sound with a mix of Latin influences. It tells a love story from beginning to end and takes the listener on a journey through every phase of one woman’s experience: Before, Falling, Distance, Broken, Healing, and After. It is all at once empowering and deeply vulnerable.

The raw, human emotion of her songs is transmitted through her powerful stage presence and stellar band, Beat Zero. More information on Yazmin and her band can be found at www.yazminmusic.com.
