WCBE is looking forward to having The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet back in the studio to perform Live From Studio A!
After they perform at Natalie's Grandview on Sunday Oct. 11th they'll return to WCBE for a mini concert and conversation that afternoon in the 1PM hour. And that night they'll also perform with Vaughn Wiester's Famous Jazz Orchestra that night at Boulevard Presbyterian Church from 7:30-10PM!
It's all waiting for you on 90.5FM Columbus, 106.3FM Newark, the WCBE App and at www.wcbe.org!
The Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet presents Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music. To attend one of Gabriel's shows is to lose oneself in a world of call-and-response. This is a culturally rich and immersive concert experience. Afro-Peruvian Jazz Music is characterized by infectious rhythms played on instruments such as the Cajón, Cajita and Quijada (literally the jaw bone of a donkey!) This experience will authentically transport you to the Coast of Peru and its magic. Renowned jazz critic Doug Ramsey said it best: "The Afro-Peruvian Sextet is writing a new chapter in the history of Latin Jazz."
