The Stanford Afro-Latin Jazz Ensemble is excited to present its first concert of the academic year! This time we've got an unusual mix of music spanning the entire spectrum of the Latin Jazz idiom -- ancient African folkloric elements mixed with contemporary jazz, Cuban carnival rhythms, and Latin American hymns! Of course, we have our traditional and modern salsa repertoire as well. Please join us - we are very excited to play for you.
The music is guaranteed to make you want to jump out of your seat. Don't miss it!
The event takes place at Stanford's Dinkelspiel Auditorium on the Stanford campus on Saturday, December 3 at 7:30 PM. Advance tickets are available online for $18 general/$13 students and seniors. In addition, the concert is free to Stanford students with valid SUID. TICKETS MUST BE PURCHASED ONLINE at tickets.stanford.edu. Unfortunately, in-person walk-up tickets are not available. Remember to get your tickets!
