Mashing up Jewish and Afro-Cuban music has been a popular tack lately, and Rosenblatt is Seattle’s premiere exponent of this particular niche—at once festive and melancholy. Skilled in the Latin tres, he adds fuzzy electric-guitar lines reminiscent of Ry Cooder and Marc Ribot’s mambos and sings with a semi-ironical authority that seems equal parts canción and Adam Sandler. Tonight he’ll celebrate the release of his sharp new self-titled recording, backed by brass, strings, and percussion. Balkan-style street band Orkestar Zirkonium will start the ethnic juices flowing.
