The Slavo Rican Assembly Video Gallery
(please check the whole playlist)
THE SLAVO RICAN ASSEMBLY continues where the JK quartet left off, with its main focus being the exploration of the similarities and differences between the music of the Puerto Rican (and generally, Caribbean) and Slavic and Balkan cultures, merging them into a cohesive, brand-new sound that is unique in the current music market place, yet representative of the ever evolving landscape audiences are looking for, all rooted in the common-ground language of jazz.
The band members (3 South Slavs and 3 Puerto Ricans, plus one Cuban) combine musical traditions from the Balkans and Slavic folk songs with the musical traditions of the Caribbean, synthesizing them seamlessly in a never-before-heard, attractive, heartfelt and powerful rhythmical mix!
Jan Kus (SLOVENIA) – tenor, soprano saxophone
Aleksandra Denda (SERBIA) – vocals
Gabriel Vicéns (PUERTO RICO) – guitar
Ahmed Alom (CUBA) – piano, keyboard
Dan Martínez (PUERTO RICO) – double bass, electric bass
Fernando García (PUERTO RICO) - percussion
Žan Tetičkovič aka Jean John (SLOVENIA) – drums, drum pad
