Join the Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble for their first concert of the academic year. As usual, the repertoire will represent the entire spectrum of the Afro-Latin Jazz genre. Included are chants with roots in the African Diaspora, old Cuban songs from the early 20th century, traditional and modern salsa, and jazz standards from the Great American Songbook arranged with modern jazz harmony. We are also very excited to present classic and modern Brazilian music - be sure to be present for that. The exciting blend of sounds is guaranteed to perk up your ears and maybe get you moving out of your seat! Don't miss it!

PLEASE NOTE: Non-students are advised to purchase tickets online through the Stanford Ticket Office Website in order to attend. Students with SUID are admitted one hour prior to the show
