Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet

About this event

The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet presents Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music. To attend one of Gabriel’s shows is to lose oneself in a world of call-and-response. This is 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 jaw bone of a donkey!) This 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.” “A kinetic and rhythmically astute band mixing Afro-Peruvian musical traditions with steamy jazz improvising.” – The New York Times “The absolutely incredible Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet is a thrill ride of international proportions” – Aquarian Review Food & Bar: Our full food and drink menu will be available before and during the show.
