THE AFRO HORN

The Afro Horn was conceived by Francisco Mora Catlett in Sun Ra's home, during Francisco's tenure with the Arkestra in the 70's after reading Henry Dumas's story, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" In this story the Afro horn is a powerful instrument that unites and completes the music circle, bringing new light and life.

The first Afro-Horn appearance was during the 80’s in Detroit, at Baker's Keyboard Lounge with Vincent Bowens on Tenor Saxophone, James Carter on Tenor Saxophone, Rodney Whitaker on Bass and Francisco Mora Catlett on Drums.

Francisco was proud to present Afro Horn for the first time in New York City at the Stone. Once again he built a strong and appropriate lineup and music for this exciting concept. He managed to align himself with a band of Detroiters: Alex Harding on Baritone Saxophone, Salim Washington on Tenor Saxophone, and Hakim Jami on Bass, they are all transplanted New Yorkers who began in Detroit. Francisco brings alive the circle of the African Heritage in his music and art.
