Seattle Times
Havana-born Pedrito Vargas has toured with Cuban-music legends Los Van Van and Barbarito Torres. Now at home in Seattle, Vargas and his group, Ashé, are bringing their blend of contemporary Cuban music, with its hints of salsa, jazz, funk, rock and hip-hop, to City Hall’s free noon lunchtime concert series today. When not jamming with Ashé, Vargas runs Paladar Cubano, a Cuban-food truck on the corner of North 90th and Aurora Avenue North.
