More about THE AFRO-PERUVIAN SEXTET
The Afro-Peruvian Sextet has produced eight CDS, one documentary film and one vinyl record to date. Their audiences come from all over the globe.
During your magical September 30th evening with the band, you may even be invited to participate in Tour Perú - Behind the Scenes, an innovative concept by which fans of the band literally join the musicians on the road on tour in Peru!
With home bases in Lima and New York City, the band has been embraced by both cities. Hot House Magazine awarded the band New York City’s “Best Ensemble of the Year” award and the New York City Jazz Record “Best Latin Jazz Album.”
The band has successfully developed and consolidated a thriving “scene” around Afro-Peruvian jazz music. The Latin Jazz Network described the band in this way:
“Every once in a while there comes a musician who, when playing his or her chosen instrument, seems to carry within a vital life-force that is irrepressible"
Heard is a collective of musicians that bring their skills and passion for world
music, jazz and improvising together to create irresistible grooves set in a wondrous sonic tapestry.
It is the true definition of WORLD JAZZ.
Together for 15 years, their vibrant sound incorporates influences from West Africa, Brazil, the Caribbean and beyond.
Their debut CD Karibu reached #15 on the WorldJazz charts and 2018's daring Flyway is similarly garnering much critical acclaim.
Heard is a 4 time Eddy Music Awards nominee in the World Music category.
