Celebrating Jaco's Birthday and ORIENTE's New CD Release in Miami in December

Experience the
Afro-Cuban-Soul-Jazz of
Oriente!

An explosive celebration of melody, rhythm and soul, ORIENTE was formed in the ‘90s by Cuban guitarist and composer Eddy Balzola. They debuted at New Orleans’ premier jazz club, Snug Harbor, to an audience accustomed to very funky, progressive music and Oriente's hard-driving yet melodic Afro-Cuban roots innovations hit the spot. That raw and organic music scene was an inspiration and continues to influence the band’s soulful sound & style, distinguishing ORIENTE from any other Latin Jazz group.
