Brian Andres and The Afro-Cuban Jazz Cartel
San Mateo, CA
Latin / Jazz / Salsa
Bio
Latin Jazz. It’s been called La Combinación Perfecta. The perfect combination. The coming together of two worlds. The blending of two musical traditions. Jazz, a truly original art form born in the United States, espouses the freedom in music that its birth nation represents to the world. Latin: a generic term meant to encompass the numerous dance and folkloric musical styles of the Caribbean. Latin Jazz: part African, part European, it is to some, the ultimate American musical expression.

Press
“Andres and his Afro-Cuban Jazz Cartel expand our understanding of a drummer’s musicality while delivering an outstanding collection of music on Drummers Speak. The repertoire selection offers a strong variety of approaches, resulting in a constantly interesting album. Andres’ use of material from Latin Jazz drummers makes a firm connection with the style while his integration of songs from straight-ahead jazz drummers exposes range. Both Tumalan and Sierra’s arrangements place a distinct spin on the songs, and their creativity drives the album into “must-hear” territory.
