Sunday Concerts at Queens Public Library with Afro Dominicano
The funk-fusion combo Afro Dominicano infuses their songs with afro-caribbean soul: a blend of traditional roots music from the Dominican Republic, including perico ripiao, palo, merengue, and bachata, with afro-beat, reggae, calypso, samba, funk, punk rock, and other diverse rhythms. The group’s mix of harmonious vocals, accordion, guitar, traditional percussion, and electric bass makes this a high-energy performance not to be missed!
Afro Dominicano has performed in numerous venues in New York, including Lincoln Center and United Palace Theater, among others. The group features band leader/vocalist/accordionist Adriano Brito, vocalist Rafael Rodríguez on guitar, vocalist Kelvin Ventura on second guitar, Jose Baez on tambura and bongos, lead guitarist Frankelyn “El Dolor” Hernandez, Marco Mento on drums, and vocalist Jose “Cito” Cardenas on bass.
