Based in Roanoke, Virginia, this is the region’s sole Afro-Cuban jazz ensemble. They exemplify top-tier musicianship and a dedication to cultural diversity, akin to the legendary collaboration of artists from Cuba, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and Panama during the vibrant Latin-jazz era of the 1960s. Jstop Latin Soul keeps the essence of Afro-Cuban rhythms alive, skillfully blending them with American jazz and soul. Their performances offer a fresh and innovative take on this historically significant and culturally rich genre of music.
