Latin Jazz Sunday Featuring the CSULA Afro Latin Ensemble
Sunday, Jan 29, 2012, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Join us and re-live the New York salsa scene of the 1970s and ’80s by saluting the legendary artists who catapulted Afro-Cuban music into one of its most explosively creative eras and arranged brilliant and timeless recordings, which are still danced to today.
Composed of undergraduate and graduate students, the CSULA Afro Latin Ensemble is dedicated to the study, practice, and performance of Afro Latin music. Under the direction of Dr. Paul De Castro, the ensemble has established itself as one of the most exciting student music ensembles of its kind in the nation.
