Music of the African Diaspora

The rich and diverse Music of the African Diaspora emerges from the musical traditions of displaced Africans around the world, particularly in the Caribbean, South America, and the United States. From these vibrant communities, genres like blues, jazz, spirituals, calypso, and habanera were born. In this concert, we pay homage to these influential styles while presenting them through a contemporary lens for 21st Century audiences.
