The Afro-Latineers: Jazz Ensemble in New York

About The Afro-Latineers

The Afro-Latineers are a New York City–based group working in jazz and free music, often heard in outdoor performances at Riverside Park. Their playing draws on Afro-Latin rhythm and open-ended improvisation, with an ear for ensemble dialogue. They have shared bills and collaborated with artists including Ron McClure, The Slim Kings, and The Brooklyners, including appearances connected to the RTA Summer Sunset Concert Series. Their sets favor interaction and structure over polish, letting the group’s internal cues shape the form in real time.
