AfroHORN - Alphabet City, North Side

AfroHORN is a 5-piece big band project conceived by drummer and composer Francisco Mora-Catlett. It is a coming together of masterful and highly-acclaimed musicians who explore the musical connections between the Caribbean, America, Africa, and Latin America. 

The original music draws from the metaphor of the Afro Horn, from writer and poet Henry Dumas’ short story “Will the Circle Be Unbroken,” to explore and celebrate African cultures and their expressive, artistic, and political possibilities. 

Featured musicians: 

Roman Diaz: percussion; Alex Harding: baritone saxophone; Francisco Mora-Catlett: drums; Sam Newsome: soprano saxophone; Aruan Ortiz: Piano
