Yosvany Terry Quintet
Opening Act: Novel Jazz Septet
The Yosvany Terry Quintet mines a convergence of musical lineages that preserves and reimagines elements of Cuban rhythmic and melodic traditions, while engaging global harmonic languages shaped by Europe, New York, and Africa. The quintet serves as an evolving laboratory for sound—deeply rooted in tradition while constantly responding to the dynamic, multicultural energy of New York City.
Yosvany Terry Afro-Caribbean Quartet
featuring Gema Corredera
Opening Act: George Stevens Academy’s Reptilicus
Explosive rhythms, deep ancestral roots, and electrifying collective energy define the Afro-Caribbean Ensemble. Driven by layered percussion, call-and-response vocals, and fearless improvisation, the group transforms centuries of diasporic memory into a vibrant, high-impact performance—where ritual meets virtuosity and tradition ignites the present moment.
