Where Afro-Caribbean Rhythms Meet Modern Jazz Mastery — The Sound
of 'Fiesta at Caroga
Led by guitarist Jose Guzman, The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective blends the heart of Afro-Caribbean rhythms with the sophistication of modern jazz. Their third album, "Fiesta at Caroga," has been making waves in the jazz world. It's been featured on jazz radio stations across the country, received glowing reviews from music critics, and charted on JazzWeek's Top 100 Jazz Albums of 2024.
A native of Ponce, Puerto Rico, Guzmán is a versatile guitarist, performing across jazz, classical, and rock genres. He served as an artist-in-residence at the Caroga Lake Music Festival and earned the 2020 Urbana Arts Grant to compose works blending Afro-Cuban and Puerto Rican rhythms. His projects have also been supported by Chicago’s Department of Cultural Affairs, Illinois Arts Council, Music Performance Trust Fund, and Urbana Arts for the development and growth of the band. Guzman recordings include Dimitrije Vasiljevic, KASA String Quartet, and Mr. Chair.
