10 marks the ten years since the Gabriel AlegrÃÂa Afro-Peruvian Sextet has been making music in Perú and the United States. Half of its tracks are U.S. standards and the other half Peruvian, reflecting a band that divides its time between the US and Perú. Instruments that typify jazz such as the drumset, double bass, trumpet and saxophone fuse with Afro-Peruvian instruments including the cajón, cajita (a small wooden box with a flappable top), the quijada (the jawbone of an ass), and vocal interjections known as guapeo.
The acoustic guitar, a familiar instrument in both traditions, knits it all together. 10 is a musical experience entirely its own, one that finds and articulates the affinities between cultures and traditions of the two countries that the band calls home.
