Latin Jazz @ Galeria: ALI BELLO & THE CHARANGA SYNDICATE in concert. Dance if you must!
Warm up the evening with a special LATIN JAZZ @ GALERIA series concert event, presented by TEATRO Sí on Friday, October 9, 2026 at 7:30 pm. Join Alí Bello & his Charanga Syndicate Quintet for an exciting evening of charanga, Latin jazz, salsa and more with this talented group of musicians. Dance if you must to the sounds of acclaimed violinist Alí Bello, vocalist Fernando Pinto, pianist Coto Pincheira, bassist Abraham Saenz, and percussionist Larry Flin.
The Charanga Syndicate Quintet is a dynamic Latin jazz ensemble based in New York City that redefines tradition with a bold and modern flair. Rooted in the classic charanga format, the group infuses the elegance of traditional Cuban dance music with contemporary rhythms, improvisation, and genre-bending creativity.
The Charanga Syndicate bridges the gap between heritage and innovation. Their performances feature original compositions and inventive reinterpretations that honor the roots of Latin music while boldly pushing its boundaries into jazz, funk, and urban influences.
Driven by a mission to move tradition into a modern setting, the group brings fresh energy to the dance floor and the concert stage alike—celebrating Afro-Caribbean rhythms with a New York City edge. Whether performing in intimate clubs or major festivals, The Charanga Syndicate delivers a sound that is both timeless and forward-looking, rooted in history yet resonating with the pulse of today's Latin music scene.
Join us as this lively group of musicians take the stage at the unique GALERIA venue, located at 111 Quimby Street in downtown Westfield, NJ. Refreshments will be available for your enjoyment.
