Afro-cuban Jazz

Afro-Cuban jazz is a vibrant fusion of jazz improvisation with Afro-Cuban rhythms and melodies, deeply rooted in the syncopated percussion of clave patterns. Characterized by dynamic horn arrangements, intricate polyrhythms, and rich harmonic textures, the genre blends traditional Cuban music—such as son, mambo, and rumba—with the harmonic complexity and free-flowing solos of jazz. Artists in this style often experiment with modern influences while maintaining a strong foundation in Afro-Caribbean traditions. The result is an energetic, rhythm-driven sound that bridges cultural and musical legacies.
