The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective ’s upbeat music embraces traditional repertoire from Puerto Rican and Cuban songbooks, and expands their sonic palette by incorporating modern jazz language. The band released a self-titled EP in 2019 on several streaming platforms and has received airplay on radio stations around the country as well as in South America.
“With a sonorous cocktail where changüi mingles with modern harmonies and Latin jazz plays a major role, The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective is a sober and serious album that fulfills the role of entertaining without being frivolous. On the contrary, each musician’s virtuosity splashes through their repertoire.” ~Solar Latin Club review
