Alex “Apolo” Ayala & Bámbula Project perform Jíbaro Negro
Alex “Apolo” Ayala’s Bámbula project is a powerful, intense and nostalgic fusion of Afro-Puerto Rican “Bomba” rhythms with Jazz. It is more than a Afro-Puerto Rican Jazz Quartet. It is a celebration of Afro-Puerto Rican heritage and culture. Ayala’s intense and adventurous , yet story-telling and nostalgic compositions and arrangements ambitiously aims to capture the audience and transport them into a realm where Puerto Rican BOMBA rhythms, lyrical melodies, and Jazz harmonies and freedom are symbiotically married.
