Recital: Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble of SF State

Founded in 1999, the Afro-Cuban Jazz Ensemble of SF State aims to expose the larger listening audience to the richness of Cuban and other Latin American music styles that have so influenced American popular music styles. The ensemble has performed at San Franciscos Carnaval, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and live on KPFA radio, and with legendary performers such as Orquesta Aragon, Israel "Cachao" Lopez and Benny Velarde. The ensemble has contributed significantly to the Bay Area's multicultural music and art community. Directed by John Calloway.
