Cabaret Theatre
Get ready to move your feet and open your heart! Una Noche Con Los Azconas (A Night with the Azconas) is an unforgettable evening of Latin music, culture, and community. This concert is a joyful celebration where everyone is welcome to sing along, dance, and belong.
Theatre Raleigh’s Cabaret Theatre will fill with the irresistible rhythms of merengue, salsa, and bachata, drawing you into the vibrant world of one extraordinary family. More than a concert, this is a party – and you’re invited.
Meet the Azconas
Manolo & Mairym Azcona are the heart of this family and the evening’s guiding spirit. Born and raised in the Dominican Republic, Manolo brings deep roots in the Latin music industry, having managed prominent artists throughout his career. Mairym is a beloved vocal coach at the Alli Mae Carnes Studio and a Spanish teacher who pours her passion for music and culture into everything she does. A local artist in her own right – equally at home on stage as a singer and actress – Mairym is also currently pursuing her Master’s degree in Vocal Pedagogy from the University of Essex in England, deepening an already remarkable expertise. Together, they have raised six children, each gifted with remarkable musical talent. Joining them on stage tonight are four of those six.
Lanif is a singer, songwriter, and music producer who honed her craft at the prestigious Berklee College of Music. Her artistry bridges tradition and innovation, bringing a professional edge to everything she touches.
Alondra is a true triple threat – a performer, traveler, and creative spirit who studied music at Berklee College of Music. She actively auditions for theater productions and brings a bold, dynamic energy to every stage she graces.
Aaron is the family’s dancer, currently training in the pre-professional department of the International Ballet Academy . Soon-to-be inducted into his high school’s National Honor Society, Aaron was most recently seen as Rudolpho in Theatre Raleigh ACT’s production of “Matilda.”
Myriam, a dedicated middle schooler, is a powerful dancer and emerging performer who also trains at the International Ballet Academy while pursuing film acting and regional theater auditions. Her perseverance, discipline, and warmth make her a rising star to watch.
A Night Full of Surprises: The Azconas will not be alone on stage. Una Noche Con Los Azconas will also feature a roster of surprise special guests. Talented singers and musicians from across the Triangle will join the family for what promises to be a series of extraordinary, one-of-a-kind musical moments. You won’t want to miss a single note.
Una Noche Con Los Azconas is more than a performance – it’s an invitation to experience the joy, heritage, and boundless talent of a family that lives and breathes music. Come as you are. Leave inspired.
