Tenement Concert: A History in Nuyorican Jazz

---

Enjoy a special live-streamed concert broadcasted from our recreated 1960s living room! A History in Nuyorican Jazz featured the Chembo Corniel Trio who brought to life the sounds of Loisaida and the New York Puerto Rican musicians’ communities. Former residents Jose and Andy Velez remember fondly growing up in their tenement apartment filled with Puerto Rican songs. Through performance and discussion, we explored how these sounds evolved and their legacies today.

This program is in partnership with the Nuyorican Poets Café, a Lower East Side cultural cornerstone since 1973.
