Experience the hypnotic pulse of the melodic claves, majestic congas, ringing timbales, and the call of the raspy guiro, sleek bata and beaded shekere, as tropical African percussion instruments mesh with the classical instrumentation of European music. The Roberto Ocasio Latin Jazz Project musicians provide an energized interactive demonstration, from the roots of Afro-Cuban Music to today's Latin Jazz. A fun way to learn about this popular musical genre while learning a little Spanish and maybe even dancing the mambo!
