Directed by piano player Adrian Ruiz, La Cantera is SRBCC’s Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective, a youth jazz performance ensemble born at Segundo Ruiz Belvis Cultural Center.
The program incorporates young veterans of Ruiz Belvis’ Afro-Caribbean Jazz and Afro-Latin Percussion apprenticeships with guest appearances by the city’s top local and touring Latin music talent. Through a dynamic performance schedule participants engage in the business of musical performance, learning to leverage their talents and exposure.
