About WeBop Family Jazz Party: Jazz & Africa, Diaspora Connections

WeBop Family Jazz Party: Jazz & Africa, Diaspora Connections is a Jazz at Lincoln Center–based family program and performance format that uses live jazz to trace musical links across Africa and the diaspora. Presented in New York City, it has featured members of the WeBop Family Jazz Band in an interactive, concert-class setting. The approach balances brief historical framing with clear demonstrations of rhythm, call-and-response, and improvisation. Its events favor understanding over spectacle, treating the bandstand as a place to listen closely and learn.
