Direct from Cuba, via the United States, the Afro Cuban Jazz Project aka AC Jazz Project, aka AC Timba Jazz Project is arguably one of the most versatile contemporary Cuban bands of today. Composed of extracts from Chucho Valdes, Chaka Khan, Celia Cruz, Maraca, Hernan Lopez Nussa, Grupo Afro-Cuba, and Phil Collins. Their outstanding repertoire and style is a fusion of jazz improvisations mixed with their afro-cuban roots (rumba, folklore, danzon, cha cha cha, mambo, son and timba). They are the epitome of Cuban Popular Dance music, and Afro-Cuban Jazz.
