Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble and The Fat Afro Latin Jazz Cats Youth Orchestra, La Mecánica Popular, Los Rakas

Arturo O’Farrill’s Afro Latin Jazz Ensemble and The Fat Afro Latin Jazz Cats Youth Orchestra, both Afro Latin Jazz Alliance ensembles, present a lively and engaging set.

Brooklyn-based band La Mecánica Popular blends ’70s-style salsa with the new wave of tropical sounds.

The duo Los Rakas performs a fresh mix of hip-hop, plena, reggae, and dancehall, with Spanish and English lyricism and cutting-edge Pan-American flows.
