Afro Bop Alliance, an exciting seven-piece Latin Jazz ensemble, performs throughout Greater Washington, DC–Baltimore and Mid-Atlantic regions. Afro Bop Alliance explores the vast musical possibilities of all the different cultures which come together under the umbrella of Latin or Latin jazz. This group uses the instrumentation of a jazz ensemble augmented with congas, timbales, bongos, bells, etc., playing compositions in Afro-Cuban and Brazilian styles. It is the goal of Afro Bop to fuse all of these wonderful Latin styles and cultures with our own jazz experience to create a unique sound.
