AFRO FUNKE' LIVE PRESENTS

THE LATIN PROJECT
The Latin Project has delivered an iconic signature sound that fuses deep house, broken beat and hip hop with Afro polyrhythms and vocals to deliver a high-energy, danceable sound with electronic experimentation and virtuosic live players throwing down notable performances in equal measure. The sounds of Costa Rica, Mexico, Puerto Rico Guadalupe and Cape Verde ring through in The Latin Project’s vibrant, cutting edge Latin-Electronica productions. A Los Angeles Times review captured the vibe of their live show with these words: "The act is meant to be heard, and seen, in person.. .the set is an entrancing concoction of hypnotic beats, airy melodies and jazzy instrumentals..."
