In partnership with Greenwich Village's most emblematic jazz club The Zinc Bar, Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music has a home in New York City! This is more than a concert, it is a cultural immersion and insight into the way music lives and breathes in every aspect of Latin American culture.
THE GABRIEL ALEGRIA AFRO-PERUVIAN SEXTET
provides an engaging and rhythmic interpretation of jazz that brings the listener to life in a world of call-and-response.
Ours is a musical culture and community that is cool, in a hot kind of way.
The band’s music infuses jazz with the rhythms, instruments and passionate commitment found in Afro-Peruvian music from Coastal Peru.
This is World Jazz that is primal. Gritty Afro-Latin jazz. The sound track to an urban jungle.
The music is new, but deeply rooted in tradition. It is accessible and colorful.
Gabriel has created a growing jazz movement and tradition to capture your heart and imagination for life.
Fair Warning: Afro-Peruvian jazz music is spicy.
