Join us for a walk down memory lane with Lucie Arnaz as she celebrates her father, Desi Arnaz’ extraordinary musical legacy and the major role he played in planting the first seeds of the Latin music explosion in this country. Tonight, Lucie will share stories of her extraordinary family and their impact on popular American culture.  She will also sign copies of her latest CD recording, Latin Roots. One can almost imagine the pride that Desi Arnaz would feel upon hearing this music. From the Other Side, he could be saying: “That’s my daughter! She’s amazing, hey” Yes, Mr. Arnaz. Lucie Arnaz is just that amazing. Latin Roots tells why. The Emmy Award-winning actress is the creator, producer and director of BABALU, a new musical tribute to her father, which premieres at the Adrienne Arsht Center, Knight Concert Hall on Thursday, July 8 and runs through Sunday, July 11. The show features Desi Arnaz’s greatest hits, including the hip-swiveling “Cuban Pete,” his signature conga “Babalu,” and the beloved theme from “I Love Lucy,” plus some of the greatest Latin and Broadway hits in this one-of-a-kind tribute to the most glamorous music of the ‘40s and ‘50s. SPECIAL for Books & Books: At the event tonight, you can enter a drawing to win a FREE pair of tickets to BABALU at the Adrienne Arsht Center.
