Hector Martignon's Foreign Affair

Foreign Affair shares a name with a long-running American journal of international relations, founded in 1922 and closely read in policy circles. Here, the phrase is repurposed for a live jazz set at The Django in New York City, with pianist Hector Martignon among the featured performers. The program treats “foreign affairs” as a musical condition: borders crossed through rhythm, harmony, and diaspora memory. In a city built on arrivals, the title lands as a quiet reminder that culture often travels faster than politics.
