Where jazz meets bomba, plena, and salsa, and every beat carries history, pride, and possibility.
AFRO-CARIBBEAN JAZZ APPRENTICESHIP
JUNE 23-AUGUST 1 | M-F 10 AM TO 2 PM
AGES: 16-22
LOCATION: 4048 W. ARMITAGE AVE.
More than music — this is movement. The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble is where young musicians connect their talent to the powerful rhythms and stories of the Caribbean diaspora. Here, jazz meets bomba, plena, and salsa, and every beat carries history, pride, and possibility.
This year, we go even deeper: with a week-long exploration of Bad Bunny’s chart-topping album Debí Tirar Más Fotos. Together, we’ll trace how the beats that shaped the Caribbean are now fueling a global sound, and how today’s artists are using music to reclaim identity, challenge norms, and move culture forward.
Remember to look for the program under the name: Afro-Caribbean Jazz Ensemble
