Afro-Latin Jazz

Afro-Latin Jazz is a vibrant fusion genre that marries the rhythmic complexity of African and Latin American musical traditions with the improvisational flair of jazz. Originating in the mid-20th century, this genre thrives on dynamic percussion, syncopated rhythms, and the seamless blending of instruments like congas, bongos, and brass. Pioneered by artists like Dizzy Gillespie and Machito, Afro-Latin Jazz continues to evolve, celebrating a rich tapestry of cultural influences and energetic grooves.
