ABOUT THE GROUP
Formed in 2005, the Afro-Peruvian Sextet is known for its inventive program of traditional Afro-Peruvian music that is transformed by bandleader Gabriel Alegría’s deeply personal synthesis of folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms, jazz, and other musical strains. Their signature sound fuses rigorous scholarship with playful energy, offering audiences a rich, immersive experience that not only showcases coastal Perú’s Black music traditions but celebrates them as a vibrant way of life.
The ensemble’s insistently inventive program of traditional Afro-Peruvian music transformed by Gabriel Alegría’s highly personal synthesis of folkloric Afro-Peruvian rhythms, jazz, and other musical strains has led to a signature accomplishment: developing the band’s patented blend of deep scholarship and playfulness into a touring experience that conveys a vast knowledge of the music and, perhaps more importantly, transmits black music from coastal Perú as a way of life to its audiences.
Each member of the Sextet is both a master musician and a dedicated and experienced educator. Over more than a decade of touring together, the ensemble has shared the joy of Afro-Peruvian music across the globe, both onstage and off. Their mission extends beyond performance through workshops, master classes, informal gatherings, and even cooking demonstrations, reflecting the inseparable bond between food and music in Afro-Peruvian culture. As trumpet legend Bobby Shew once commented, “Hanging out with these people is a chapter in your life!”
