Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet - Guest Artist
The Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet presents an evening of Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music at CCM! To attend one of Gabriel's shows is to lose oneself in a culturally rich and immersive concert experience. Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music is characterized by infectious rhythms played on instruments such as the Cajón, Cajita and Quijada (literally the jawbone of a donkey)! This concert experience will authentically transport you to the coast of Peru and its magic. Renowned jazz critic Doug Ramsey said it best: "The Afro-Peruvian Sextet is writing a new chapter in the history of Latin Jazz."
The concert’s program is scheduled to include:
GABRIEL ALEGRÍA: Carrusel de Luces
LAURA ANDREA LEGUIA: El Primer Final
LAURA ANDREA LEGUIA: Capicua
LAURANDREA LEGUIA: Eva
DANIEL ALOMIA ROBLES/DAVE BRUBECK: El Condor Pasa/Take Five
