About
Direct from Cuba, via the United States, the Afro Cuban Jazz Project is arguably one of the most versatile contemporary Cuban bands of today. Composed of extracts from
Celia Cruz, Arturo Sandoval, Chucho Valdes, Maraca, Poncho Sanchez, Hernan Lopez Nussa, Grupo Afro-Cuba, and NG La Banda. Their repertoire and sound is a fusion of
jazz improvisations mixed with their afro-cuban roots (rumba, folklore, danzon, cha cha cha, mambo, son and timba). Some past and current contributing musicians have included, Omar Sosa, Jose Luis Quintana "Changuito", Jesus Diaz, Orlando Puntilla Rios, Fermin Sifontes, Raul Pineda, Luis Eric Gonzalez, Jimmy Branly, Carlitos del Puerto, Sawa Perez, Joel Nunez, Josiel Perez, Joey De Leon, and many more.....
