Venissa Santi at Camaradas El Barrio Bar and Restaurant
What do legendary radio show host and jazz expert, Bob Parlocha, Latin music icon Ruben Blades and renowned promoter, Dick Le Palm have in common? They unanimously agree that Cuban American singer-songwriter Venissa Santi is a name to watch. As Raul D’ Gama of Latin Jazz Network wrote, “She joins the likes of Billie Holiday, Abbey Lincoln, Sheila Jordan, Elis, Rosa, Celia, Flora Purim and fewer others than can be counted on the fingers of a hand – as the highest practitioners of the art of vocal music.”

True to it’s working-class roots, CAMARADAS celebrates the spirit of the unsung hero; factory workers & laborers whose work ethic, sweat, and ability make New York City one of the leading industrial and financial centers in the world. Camaradas has become a regular destination for those who are seeking quality entertainment in New York City.
