One of the most influential figures on the current jazz scene in Peru, Gabriel Alegria leads this six-piece ensemble. Traditional Afro-Peruvian music is transformed by Alegría’s highly personal synthesis of folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms, jazz, and other musical strains. With this, the band creates a signature experience: a blend of deep scholarship and playfulness which conveys a vast knowledge of the music and, perhaps more importantly, transmits black music from coastal Peru as a way of life to its audiences.

“Dynamic ensemble explores the affinities between modern jazz and the Afro-Latin continuum in Peru.” - The New York Times
