The Afro-Caribbean Jazz Collective’s upbeat music emulates the early son montuno ensembles and embraces traditional repertoire from Puerto Rican and Cuban songbooks, and expands their sonic palette by incorporating modern jazz language. The band released a self-titled EP in 2019 on several streaming platforms and has received airplay on radio stations around the country as well as in South America.
