Gabriel Alegria Afro-Peruvian Sextet Biography
The Afro-Peruvian Sextet was established in 2005.
“The Afro-Peruvian Sextet knows its mission well and has the execution down to a science!” - The New York Times
The ensemble’s insistently inventive program of traditional Afro-Peruvian music transformed by Gabriel Alegría’s highly personal synthesis of folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms, jazz, and other musical strains has led to a signature accomplishment: developing the band’s patented blend of deep scholarship and playfulness into a touring experience that conveys a vast knowledge of the music and, perhaps more importantly, transmits black music from coastal Perú as a way of life to its audiences.
“The Afro-Peruvian Sextet is writing a new chapter in the history of Latin jazz.” - Doug Ramsey, Rifftides
