Concert: "Afro-Cuban Ensemble"

The Afro-Cuban Ensemble of SF State, celebrating its 10th anniversary, performs a wide variety of Cuban genres, from traditional and folkloric styles to the most contemporary sounds. The 25-piece instrumental and vocal ensemble is unique in its approach in that it organically creates its own new and exciting arrangements each semester. The mission of the ensemble is to expose the larger listening audience to the richness of Cuban music that has so influenced American music since the 19th century, and to perform other related Pan-African-American styles of music namely from South America and the Caribbean and jazz.
