Live Latin Jazz, Roots, and Education

Write a 5-sentence prompt guiding you to connect upcoming San Diego concerts to a broader educational thread. Begin with a vivid scene from a live Latin jazz performance (e.g., Poncho Sanchez’s congas driving the groove). Then explain how Latin jazz blends Afro-Cuban rhythms with jazz improvisation, defining terms like clave and montuno. Compare this fusion to the bluegrass-tinged sounds of Kitchen Dwellers to illustrate genre hybridity across American roots music. Conclude with a takeaway for readers: what to listen for at live shows and why musical cross-pollination matters in education. If helpful, weave in a concrete example or brief historical note from the provided bios.
