The Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet returns to New York City for one night only!
Join us on Friday, October 4, 2024 at the incomparable Cutting Room for an inspiring (and very groovy) evening of Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music.
You are invited to immerse yourself in the vibrant rhythms of coastal Peru. Festejo, Lando, Zamacueca, Marinera…
These rich traditions will be brought to life for you by the incomparable energy of The Gabriel Alegría Afro-Peruvian Sextet.
The band’s signature blend of traditional Peruvian sounds and modern jazz influences is at the core of this experience.
It’s music that is cool, in a hot kind of way.
This WILL be the greatest night of music in all of New York City… 😉
As the Sextet takes the stage, you’ll be transported to a world where catchy grooves and soulful melodies show you a side of Peru (and a side of New York) that you may have never thought about…
