Afrohorn Project at Lovin' Cup Brews & Bistro

About

The AfroHORN project was conceived by Francisco Mora-Catlett in Sun Ra's home, during Francisco's tenure with the Arkestra in the ''70s after reading Henry Dumas' short story, "Will the Circle Be Unbroken?" The metaphor at the center of Dumas' short story is the Afro Horn, an instrument so mythically potent that it simultaneously unites and empowers. Mora-Catlett and his New York-based jazz ensemble work to explore, intone, and celebrate African-derived cultures and their expressive, artistic, and political possibilities.
